4.0 Junior

8/12/2024

During my time in Northampton High School I have experienced not much diversity, but much inclusivity. The arts department is the best program by far in the school, but the STEM program following close behind. I will say the English department is definitely lacking but the teacher will try if they see you are engaged to learn.

Overall good and definitely seemed to be one of the better public schools in the area. Administration was really awful when I graduated in 2023, hope there is some overturn there soon.

I am a 2011 graduate of NHS. I received a very good education there: I was challenged in AP classes, helped by dedicated teachers who put in extra time, and enriched by the sports teams. That said, in my earlier years, I had some pretty lazy teachers (worksheets, movies, etc), and their classes tend...

My daughter just graduated from this school and she's now headed for a very selective college. Can't speak highly enough of the education she received at NHHS and her whole experience there. This school is great.
