I had a good time during my schooling at Nitro High School. Classmates were easy to get along with and the teachers were always willing to lend a hand when needed. There were a decent amount of extracurricular activities, as well as clubs started and organized by students. Even parents would fundraise or interact with the school on a frequent basis. It was a very community oriented high school with a real interest in student engagement.

I have an iep and have to work extra hard to get good grades. So help in college opportunities would be nice. I was told I was not good enough for some college options. Worst. My mom got me into a college class and I am trying to be a better student and person because of the challenge and extra help provided at home. They believe in me. Bedt

One of the best schools in WV! The staff is wonderful and willing to work with students. They offer a lab in the morning where you can go ask for help with anything or makeup work. The extracurricular activities are second to none, there are tons of sports and if you are an arts lover Nitro offers a...
