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.

one thing I liked about north high school was the friends I was able to make while attending. one thing I would like to see change is the constantly changing schedules and I wish teachers would stay with the school because the longer a teacher has been at north from my experience the better the teacher they are.
