North Side High School is a good school when it comes to safety. Although the teachers seemed a little tough they still cared about the students. The guidance counselor always seeks the best interest of the students and helps them out.

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...
