6/14/2025

My experience in North County High School was good but some parts about was little bad, First encounter in NCHS was during my Junior year when I was not really able to make friends because how nervous and awkward as a person had been. But towards my senior year of school, I started to be more confident and open had lots of friends and teachers who I was able to socialize with more about my personal situations and was joining clubs and activities in the school. I would say if I could change how i was in my junior year of high school. So far I'm happy about what had gotten out of school because I was not able to go dances or my school prom.

From my personal Experience here I like everyone's they makes the students feel welcome and they give us a lot of opportunities and help us a lot with all problems and for example they help a lot when we have to go to college their avid program is amazing, if I would have to change something it would be that they should help more the esol students with their college process because I know a lot of people that wants to go to college but they just don't know how to start or what to do so one thing I would love they to do is to change that and help them with their process and they should talk more about college and all this stuffs because it is important for the students to know all the information if they want to go to college and inform them more about clubs, honor society, clases etc, because those are really important steps if someone dream about to go to a good college

My overall experience at north county is fun i get to try new things and do the things I love. Good staff that sometimes want to make relationships with their students and knowing how to still also teach the class. We might not be the greatest at sports but our drive is what keeps us going

It's not as bad as a lot of people say it is. It is very overcrowded, but that's really the only problem. I heard there was a lot of fights here, but I have yet to see any.
