Best four years of my life and I had a lot of support and I'm still in contact with some of them today
6/18/2024
Northgate overall is a great school for most people, but it has downsides. Northgate's teachers are not the best, but a few are great. Most teachers assign pointless busy work, along with many other projects, which Is a downside. The campus has no windows in any classrooms, and 90% of the school is concrete.
5/1/2024
I lived my time at this school at it is not a perfect place as there are very few establishments that are perfect if any. I would change a few things. There are no windows i. the classrooms and I personally feel the teachers and staff don't actually realize that this does have an affect on our brains and readiness to learn.

They allow bully’s to continually make other students lives miserable and turn a blind eye as the principle is more worried about his reputation. There’s no leadership and school communication is the worst! Especially in dangerou...
