My overall experience at North Davidson High School is okay. I liked being able to select classes and clubs that aligned with my interests and goals. The worst part is the diversity. There aren't many diverse groups at this school, which can make the miniorities feel less inclusive. I would love to see some changes to classes, rules, etc.

It is an okay place to go to school. There is a variety of clubs but they are not good about giving information on them. They have all the right classes but not enough teachers to teach it.

This school is wonderful and most of the teachers are great. The only problem is that the students do not want to participate in school activities. I like that our principal seems to support the arts to a degree. I don't like how much money is given to the sports when other things within the school need support.

Despite the great opportunities that this school will offer you, it is not worth the rude staff and stupid rules they have. I had to go to several doctors to have tests done to...
