My experience with this school came out to be decent. Some teachers show to really care about their students and teaching them while others lack that however this school does provide good and useful resources for the students. I would like to see more of change in how the school handles bad behavior from other students though.

I started Norcross as a freshman and been there all 4 years. It's a chill place to go not much happens there, the students mind their buisness but can be messy and they teaches are nice as long as you do your work and do it on time when they ask for it.
