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 administration is not great, the sports are ok but need a change but won't be made, I feel students should be able to have more group activities and more fun together. The college readiness should be better, there is not much help to guarantee that you get everything done that you need to. there should also be more college classes available or AP classes. I feel like there is not enough to get you through what you could be doing. there could also be more diversity when it comes to your study of interest there's only a couple and if you do not want to go into that field of study, then you just have to pick from something even if you don't want to do it there could be a little bit more diversity also in the sports part with things such as dance or men's volleyball certain things that should be able to be asked about or started that are not. The staff overall is not bad, but at times is a lot of favoritism towards certain people or certain subjects of the school.

North Side High School is, in my opinion, a good school. although it may be a Title 1, it nurtures its students allowing them to reach their goals. It is a very diverse school where you can meet students from all walks of life. The teachers are always happy to help whenever you need them. The school lunches may not be the best, but they do provide us with our needs to be able to perform well in school. The students can sometimes get rowdy but it's all part of the fun and great experience you will have at school. Overall, I consider my experience at North Side High School to be fun and challenging in a good way

Northside is a school that has improved alot. Current administration is caring and makes an effort to get to know students on a personal level. There are incentives in place and opportunities for all.

Child centered school with caring educators and administrators. There are a few rowdy kids but, overall, students are great.

I feel that the teacher are great but the students are aggressive racist and when they don't like something they throw stuff we had a great foren substitute and he told them not to eat in class so they threw. The food, suckers, and other things at him and called him racist for not letting them brake...
