The best part about Nimitz High school is our extracurricular activities such as ROTC,Choir, that have had state wide recognition. The worst part about Nimitz is probably or test scores as we are on the lower side in that regard.

Nimitz High School is an average high school. It is suitable for somebody who would want to gain knowledge. I have never once faced any threat in Nimitz. Most of the teachers are friendly and also care about the students and are looking forward to helping us in any way they can. Nimitz high school has numerous options of subjects to choose from and also have the resources required. Based on my experiences, Nimitz could be considered an average high school.
