I would really like to see a change in the academics and the ways teachers teach the content for class and prepare their students for the future.

In freshmen year, I faced a lot of bullies and it hard to adjust from middle school. Luckily my teachers and parents helped me get through it. I was told that if anyone bullies me, I can go talk to an adult about it. I also asked my teachers for help on work. It was definitely not a bad way to start high school.

I like the school because the staff is all friendly and the building looks nice and the only complaints I would have is about other students but a majority of them are fine so other than that I really enjoy the school and will miss it a bit when I graduate.

I attended this school for one year before transferring to the South Carolina Governor's School For the Arts and Humanities (SCGSAH) in Greenville, SC. My overall experience was less than ideal. I met some nice people, but never really felt like I truly fit, and felt judged due to me being overweigh...

We moved here, because of this great school. We have sent 3 kids there. AMD love this school. NMB High use to be rated a 9 and then an 8. The have remodeled, but their values are still the same. So idk why it's so low. It should be a solid 8.
