I'm a brand new student to North & before was about 45 minutes away. The vibe at North is totally different & that's a very good thing.

GO NORTH GWINNETT BULLDOGS!!! It wasn't until I found out that I was moving to another state that I realized North is not your average school. It really is great.

The AP teachers are really great. I'm really sad to leave because I know when it's time to apply for college I know I'll stand out becuase North Gwinnett is a really great, competitive school. Don't hesitate...take it from a student's perspective. Read less

It's quite humorous to see all of the clamor about the crowded hallways. The bigger the population, the bigger the school, correct? Assuming that the class size is proportional to the size of the school, and that it's appropriate, a school of a mere 1,000 students will experience the same amount of crowded

Crowded hallways are only a bother because of the people in your way. Sorry, it isn't the SCHOOL'S fallacy. North, in itself, is a wonderful school. The gifted program is second to none, as it offers 21 child max class size, a rigorous AP curriculum, and fantastic gifted and AP certified teachers. The teachers truly are the most knowledgeable and phenomenal teachers I have ever experienced, combining personal student-for-student care and wise disciplines. A great school. Read less

My brother and I attend this school. Most teachers are actually fun, and asking questions and doing your work really pays off. The downsides to this school is that it holds sports to a very high level and uses a lot of our money on football, and even then the cost for the individual player is through

My brother and I attended North Gwinnett over a 7 year span. We were both involved in numerous programs (i.e. softball, baseball, Beta club, Drama club, etc.). We were a middle class family with associations within, above, and below our own socioeconomic status. If fact, the 'peace' between those

North is a school thats good if you're rich, athletic & your parents are involved in the school. Its a political & economic farce. You give to them, they give to you. If you're an average, middle income child, who's mommy or daddy isn't rich, then you're one of the invisible people. Being at this school

Being Rich isn't always best. Money may buy a lot, but it doesn't buy happiness! What you may get at North is temporary, but life is not that way! Read less
