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.

The best parts are the events held there and seeing teachers and friends. Another best part is the breaks such as thanksgiving, Christmas break, winter and spring break. I think the worst parts are the testing weeks like midterms, APs and finals, especially for lowerclassmen and juniors. I'm not exactly sure what I would like to see change but I think perhaps the fact that teachers give a lot more tests the week before breaks.

When I started attending Great Neck North High School is the fall it was a very welcoming environment. The resources the school uses are top notch and you can tell the teachers really care about your learning experience. Furthermore the school culture is amazing. We have several school events that keep students engaged with the school.
