The school is alright but they need to focus more on stud rather than the school. And they should fund more for the school rather on changing the school because it's good as it is. But I don't know that's on them. That's my opinion on it.

The best part of my experience was my senior year getting ready for college. Receiving help from the schools college and career center paved my path in attending my college. The worst parts at times was the staff, it felt as if they had favorites and it was clear. The staff would clearly interact with certain groups and individuals. I would definitely love to see the staff and faculty reach out to everyone and looking for the people that aren't talking much.

The faculty is very helpful towards all students who wish to attend college after they finish high school with the amount of clubs or classes they offer to prepare students however they is a lack for the students who do not wish to attend university and would wish to go to work as soon as they finish school.

the classrooms are actually very helpful. many teachers actually help me and my fellow classmates. some teachers, i admit are harder to handle than others but apart from that Nogales high is a really good school to go to. it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves, instead it is looked down upon.

Honestly, probably one of the worst I've seen. The kids aren't motivated to do anything. Teachers probably have to continuously baby sit them. It's an amazement that anything actually gets accomplished because the kids here feel as though they've given up on education and don't worry about the futur...
