The activities that they make a safe and fun environment such as bowling, marching band, and tennis are very enjoyable, but it is hard to find peace in sports that they allow favoritism and bullying

Norwalk is a pretty okay school. There are a lot of resources for college readiness and preparation, the school is affiliated with DMACC making it easy to enroll in college course classes. There are quite a few electives that are all pretty diverse, so it's easy to find something you're interested in.

As much as I loved Norwalk high school, I didn't care for it at the same time. The kids were always rude, some teachers were but others just sucked. This school is not great but it's better than other schools. I'm debating wanting to send my future children here.
