North Paulding high school is overcrowded. The administration doesn't enforce dress code so kids wear whatever they want and many students are dressed inappropriately. It also doesn't offer enough variety of electives.

My overall high school experience was good. I learned a lot, made new friends, and grew as a person. The teachers were supportive, the classes were manageable, and there were many activities to get involved in. There were challenges at times, but they helped me become stronger and more confident. Overall, high school was a meaningful and memorable part of my life.
