My boys have been going for a few years. we left one year to try another school and we were so disappointed. We came back. Mr. & Mrs. Hutson (band) are great. My oldest is a senior this year and i am confident in what he has learned and know that he will be able to go to college and succeed.

This is my first year at North Pointe Prep as a 7th grader and I love it here. I'm glad I 'm going to this school, it seems way better then Cholla Middle School. This is a school I would really say any 7-12th grader should go to.

I am a Sophomore at North Pointe, and have been going there since the 7th grade. I love it and it has improved every year since I've been there. I get help when I need it, the teaches are awesome and there's not a one that really dislike. I like that we have several directors instead of one principal.

We moved our child from our neighborhood middle school to NPP. Thank God we did! It has been a whole new world! Not once have I heard of a fight, or drug use..... just the kind of environment our children deserve! The directors have been fabulous. Primarily Mr. Mckinley. Always so positive and any issues

The Prep is an excellent school. It offers students more opportunities than any other small school I have seen. The current administration is both competent and caring. Lots of very involved teachers, too. I have been to other schools and done the research and I wouldn't send my daughter anywhere else.

This is our 2nd year at NPP. My kids got involved right away and they have loved every minute of being there. They have an opportunity to involved as much as they are able and willing.

The idea of 5 Directors instead of 1 principal is a good idea, but it's not always easy to find which director to ask a specific question. A little persistance helps. NPP can prepare my kids for college if we ask questions and make it our goal. They offer the education, activities, and the assistance to reach our goal. As with any school, this one is not perfect, but our family is very satisfied and thankful that we found NPP. Read less

North Pointe Prepratory is an average school with potential for excellent ratings. I believe they are not an excellent school because they do not have the appropreate leaders in play with the organizational skills and vision for the future needed.

The students are not taught on a whole that academics alone will not get you into the college of your choice.
