So far I've had a great experience at Nova High. This school provides a variety of different AP and AICE classes which I believe helps students to be more prepared for college level coursework. Especially if you are going into a science related field because they provide all AP and AICE science classes.

Attending Nova high was an average high school experience for me. My teachers were all kind for the most part. Academic wise Nova is a great school, most of the teachers do well in teaching their subjects. Unfortunately, I did not participate in any sports or clubs so I may not have a reliable opinion on those extracurricular activities but from watching others participate in them, the activities seemed well organized and fun to be involved with.

At the beginning I was very happy for my kids to attend nova. I had heard so many great things from other people. All the elementary at Eisenhower, it was great but when she reached 6th grade, it was totally different. I feel like my child is attending a regular public school. This is my first time...

A school littered with simple minded and out of touch bone heads, with the one thought of becoming wannabe sport stars. This school is nothing more than a recycled wasteland and is ready to fall apart all of the way through to it's core. This school looks like the after math of a Bubonic plague that...
