The principal Ms Honeycutt should retired or quit she thinks that just because she is seen everywhere in the building it makes a difference well it doesn't if your presence makes no difference why come she always got something to say instead of running her mouth she need to address the concerns I had it out with her the first day of school and I will continue to have it out with her until she change her approach. Her school dropped the ball and said my child was good to go and start school and on the first day they said unfortunately she couldn't because they needed her shot record well I gave them her shot record and her new one wasn't due until 3 weeks after school started after going to the school board I was able to take her back on the first day so that informed me that Honeycutt isn't educated enough on what is and isn't required for her students and its more to life than just showing up and I see why her staff don't know much because she should do a lot more teaching her staff the proper procedure every time I walk in that school its a different protocol from a different person get your staff on the same page lady. Whoever is in charge of ordering the items for the school lunch should be fired they are always out of something and don't have anything to substitute the items how do you not have anything to drink for the kids for breakfast and the pickup and drop off procedure for the pre-k students is unsafe instead of going to the office they have you go around back through the unlocked unsupervised fence where the other students are having outside recess to go knock on the teacher back door where they usually don't hear you knocking How much security are you providing if your allowing parents to come in a unlocked gate where twenty plus kids are running around it wouldn't be hard for a sex offender to snatch a child from school grounds while pretending like they are going to go pick up a pre-k student I will be taking this to the head board and the only reason they got a two star because my child teacher is excellent teacher my son has gained so much knowledge in a short period of time and he challenges him to strive harder if your child has to attend this school make them breakfast and take their own lunch drop them off and pick them up yourself and just be aware that everything everyone knows there is always a different protocol

From a graduating senior, Norview high is a school that can give students many different experiences based on their choices. there are many different routes that can be taken through Norview. How well a student does at the school is mostly based on them and their own decisions. Teachers and counselors can't be fully blamed for the sub-par student performance in the school, as a noticeable part of the student population lacks self-motivation/initiative. There are many opportunities for advanced courses such as Honors or AP classes available to all students, not just those in the specialty program. To parents nervous about their child attending this school in the future, they'll be fine if they use good judgment, stick to their work, and hang with the right people. In my opinion, the school can do a good job preparing students for college or a vocation, as long as the student has the initiative to put themselves into the necessary classes or programs to ensure they have a stable future beyond high school.In terms of the school's safety, it can get a little rough sometimes with the constant fights, but in my opinion, they're just a part of growing up I guess, avoid them and dont think too much of them.Overall, I think Norview High can be made a good school by a focused, driven student, or made a bad school by an unfocused student just drifting along in the river of life. To concerned parents, your child will be fine, as long as you ensure they are completing their necessary coursework and not lingering in the hallways.

If I could give zero stars I would. The bullying, fighting, lack of communication is atrocious. Teacher and staff do not protect, teach, or care about the students education or safety. Racism is off the charts. There is no homework sent home. Communication does not exist. Third party organizations are brought in without parent notification. Few after school programs offered. My children actually slide backwards in less than 3 months. Do NOT send your child to this school.
