During my experience at Northbrook High School, I have learned a lot about what it means to be a raider. Being a raider means to always put in 100 in everything you do, even when you don´t feel like it. Even when you have so much to do, but no strength, it is my job, as a raider to show my effort and outshine my capability each and every day.

I would love if the school focused on their students who want to graduate and go to college rather than behavior issues around the school.

The worst part is that the school administration will force you into a class sometimes just because they don't find your previous year record of if you have taken a certain primary elective course (pe and arts)

This school is above average without a doubt. The teachers are awesome by being encouraging and knowledgable in their respective subjects. There are AP courses and plenty of extracurricular activities offered. The only thing missing when I attended were the academic and athletic freaks that you see...
