Being at the school provides a positive experience and you can tell each year it improves. Each year there is more organization and murals. There tends to be less fights.

My experience with Narbonne high school wasn't the best but it wasn't necessarily bad. I felt that when there were incidents at school they kind of pick and choose who they want to side with. With their BSAP i felt that none of the staff tried to help me when it came to colleges and didn't invite me to their college field trips which made me feel left out. Their program didn't try to get to know me or talk to me unless their were incidents and instead of talking to me like normal the gave attitude and was talking very stern when i did nothing wrong

One of the things I like about this school is the teachers. The teachers I have had are all great and know how to teacher. The problem is they don't have enough resources to do some actives they wish to do. Most of the other staff are fun and good leaders and people I enjoys being around.

Honestly, this school has changed my life completely. There is always an adult to talk to in confidence and they always try to do the best for your education. Some teachers are strict but they do it so that we can learn education. I give it a 10/10. I learned English ( basic) in less than two years...

I had a really good time in this school, however it is not suitable for people who are actually trying to academically succeed. If you enjoy having fun and you have no plans in terms of education, this would be the best school suited for that type of person.
