i like my school very much. without it i wouldn't be where i am today as a student but not only that, most importantly, as a person. The school is very diverse and i love meeting new people and learning about their culture. The school is open too so i can sit outside and eat lunch if i wanted to. i feel very safe going to school and that's thanks to our school resource officers and security personnel. The teachers also help me tremendously with each and every assignment that's been given to me. They each want to help me pass and see my achieve my goals and succeed.

I enjoy going to Nova Hugh school overall but i do think they could work on some things. The classrooms don't all get clean due to low maintenance. The AICE programs are amazing and provide great opportunities to those who want to go to college. They do have many opportunities to get good grades a better GPA and get ready for college. They even provide mentoring opportunities to freshman who may be struggling with their first week of college. They are very understanding and they do their best at trying to resolve issues as fast as they can.Overall great school i do think they are understaffed but they do the best with what they have.

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.

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...
