My experience at Norwalk High School was overall, pretty good. Although some of the teachers didn't teach very well (in my opinion), a majority of them were great and helped me to get to where I am right now.

This is a great school with excellent specific staff, but administration needs to get to know their faculty better. There have been some instances of misconduct with some of the educators and I think this is a problem that needs to be dealt with head on.
2/9/2021
I believe that my overall experience at Norwalk High School was pretty decent. I think some things could be changed such as, the food, how seniors are treated due to the pandemic, and how teachers treat the students referring to the overload in assignments.

I lived in Maywood for 13 years, and Norwalk was the best choice my parents could have made for my sisters and I. Norwalk was a big change, but a great one with the school being a traditional...
