We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

From my personal experience North Point is a very welcoming place, with those of many different backgrounds. In a way this allows anyone to find people that are of similar options to you never really making you feel alone. Even the teachers are friendly enough to be reliable role models you can talk to. The worst thing about the school would be communication through emails for school events.

My experience at North Point High School is worthwhile. The best about North Point High School is the opportunities they offer. I was accepted in the Drafting and Design CTE program which will put me in the right direction of becoming an Architect/Designer. The worst part about North Point High School is a few teacher do not throughly explain assignments keeping students unsure. The one change I would like to see is one on one assistance with college preparation and applying for scholarships.

However, as a student the administration was less than stellar on communication and transparency with students, parents, and, from my knowledge, staff. The counselor department is less...

I have always had very good experiences with teachers when I requested information regarding my son's grade. The front office staff is outstanding. The counselor I have communicated with is less than I expect, but luckily I have only had a few experiences in four years. The teachers do very well pre...
