We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I liked the experiences I have built at Northrop. From field trips to friends, it is just great. I would like if they changed up the lunch menu to look more appealing. I hope they fire one of the teachers because he isn't what he seems to be. They fired one before, so why not now? Some of the staff members are amazing and listen to you. Some of the teachers I had were amazing too. The thought of graduating this spring makes me sad to leave behind some of the friends I made along the way.

This high school is in the process of changing current issues. They are already good at sports, show choir, fine arts but lack in student spirit. The new administration is proactively working on schools' spirit, parent involvement and student participation.

I would say my experience with Northrop High school was different, coming to the when I was freshman but being online the actually see the school my sophomore year of high school. I loved my sophomore year, i actually got to experience what I was missing but after that the year continued to go down, my junior year I became very depressed with the environment but my senior was kinda better but only because it was my senior year. I would say make yourself have fun, do different sports and social events and actually be have fun.

I absolutely love Northrop. It is an amazing school and all the teachers are really fun and nice. The other students are nice and I haven't experienced any bullying. I especially love the engineering classes they offer because it prepares you for a real world job. I am a freshman and already earning...
