As a former student, and now a parent of children that are in the system and heading to this very school I can say that my children's experience are much better than my own. Where as in Davenport, N.S.H.S did a service for my son and aided in his excelling beyond what he had been stuck in at the other

The extra activities available are not exactly above and beyond, but aid in the area of growth as well. Drama, art, sports, ect. There are several to choose from-if someone gets into that line of interest. No complaints from my children in this school district-at all! However-I am not pleased with the guidance/principle area. Seems to need some work, perhaps? Read less

Someone said in a previous review that 'Teachers seem unwilling to help students who struggle....' As a graduate of North Scott, I do not think that is true at all. In junior high and high school there were times I didn't understand the subject that was studied. I could go to the teacher and tell

The teachers are willing, but it's also up to the student to ask for the help because aside from test scores a teacher can't always tell when the student requires help in the subject. Overall, I think the district is good and effective but it's also up to the child's willingness to learn, participate, and to know when to ask for and receive help. Read less

Availability of extra curricular activities is good. there are many thngs kids can do, they need to just be better publicity. Academic programs are good and I hope we contiue to improve.

I found this school system very good for my children, however I am hearing that it's tough to break through the click system (Meaning if you didn't go to this school system as a grade schooler or Junior High student) then the acceptence level is very low. Some things never change which is really too

Teachers seem unwilling to help students who struggle. Wonderful environment for top notch students who can learn easily on their own or with little assistance. Very rigid on requirements.
