This School’s Reviews

4.0 Junior

9/17/2025

The best part of North East High is the Christians' club. I am a Christian and believe highly in Jesus and I love feeling united with my fellow Christians' in the school. The worst part is the cleanliness. The bathrooms need a deep clean. As well as the tables in the cafe. I would love to see the bullying problem change. I don't get bullied but I witnessed a lot of people get bullied and it is not okay.

I had a good time for my 4 years. I never really tried too hard to be involved, or to be a "proud patriot" as we would say, but when I was given opportunities to improve myself and further my experience as a growing adult, I was glad to have been part of that great school.

I enjoyed the connections I created with teachers, who also help me be ready and guide me to this day in college.

Our son has excelled since he has attended both the middle and high schools. His IEP plan was followed and adjusted as he grew. We cannot thank the counselors and teachers enough for their compassion. Our son was accepted by all his college choices both in and out of state. Bravo Staff !!!
