Overall I have had a great experience at North High. The teachers are very friendly and offer lots of opportunities to help students. However, the administration at this school does not take enough action on the physical fight problem's and vaping issues that occur during the school day.

North Hagerstown High is a ok school to send your kids to. The teacher are helpful but not always good at it. Admin is a hit or miss with how they deal with things but they try their best. But on the bright side there always something to do. They have a brunch of clubs and sports for a kid to do. And a lot of after school help if the kid is struggling with classes.

Well for the first couple of weeks I didn't really know what to think of the school. But after being there for a couple of months I soon realized how amazing the school is. All the staff are friendly and care about your education and your goals in life. The teachers actually know what they are teaching and going really in depth with everything. This school is the best although there are some stuff that needs some improvement.

The academic opportunities my children have are great options. Sports are good for a public school. If you know the area, some parents are involved & some aren't. Security Staff is good at the school. Staff at the school are good, too. For living in Hagerstown, this is a good public school.

On balance, we as parents have been very pleased with the 4-year experience at North. The academic curriculum is as challenging as you wish to make it (honors, IB) and the overall facilities are excellent. The football field and track are as good as most colleges. The teachers are involved, care abo...
