My high school experience has been decent. I have had all good classes with good teacher. Most of the teachers are attentive and ready to help. I have only had 1-2 teachers who were not helpful. The extracurriculars are very good. There are many different clubs/sports to join and everyone is very welcoming.

Niles North High School is a great place for students to grow their brains. The education given here is the same or even better then some schools in the US. Not only is the education well, the staff here strive to support us and expand our minds to greater things. Of course, this school has its flaws just like every other, but when one comes up, it is addressed correctly and justifiably.

The lunch is menu is all fake. They say its 4 star Mac and cheese when actually tastes like under cooked noodles dipped in watery, flavorless, fake yellow stuff that comes from the fake leftovers from 1 star restaurants. PS. The whole lunch menu is a lie parents, don't believe your precious children...
