North Hopkins is a special place in a special town. There are problems there, but they are just typical high school problems that occur anywhere. The school is an older building, but it's holding up. Some of the teachers are not the best, but for the most part, especially taking their low salaries into

The student/teacher relationships at North is a very strong bond which helps better the school. Mr. Burgett took over principal when I was a junior and after a year of experimenting leadership styles, has it down. He's a motivator and truly wants best for the school. North Hopkins is a great school and has definitely shaped my life for the future. Read less

There are some great teachers (Ashby, Scarlett, Sarles, Tabor, Patterson, Clark) at North, but some are not so great. Don't expect too much freshmen year, but if your student is a good student North offers many AP classes (French, Spanish, Government, World History, US History, Biology, Calculus, Stats,

I just graduated from North Friday night and figured I'd rate my former high school. There are some amazing teachers there, like Amy Bryan/Clark, Mr. Cline, and Mr. Roach. All of these teachers will do whatever they can to help you, and I will definitely say that Mrs. Clark is the best educator I've

Also, since the new principal, Chad Burgett, took over, I've noticed a significant improvement in the school atmosphere. There are less fights and less PDA. The smoking in the bathrooms has been nearly eradicated, and Mr. Burgett has vastly improved the school. Hopefully he'll continue to improve the school in years to come and these teachers will be around for quite awhile. Read less

MNHHS is a miserable excuse for an educational facility. It provided little preparation for college, and the social hierarchy was positively maddening. The school spends far too much money on athletics, and student athletes are treated as demi gods amidst the other students. Also, the curriculum is

Gossip is rampant between students. There is no level of professionalism. To say the least, MNHHS has made me rethink the value of public education. If you love your child, send them elsewhere.

As a present student of madisonville north hopkins high school, I feel that the school is a great place to learn and to challenge oneself, but knowledge only comes with effort. Many students at north put forth no effort which corresponds with the lack of knowledge and high test scores. But who is to

Key word: enforces! now that the 'tuck in your shirt' rule is no longer in play, the students have grown to like mr. Burgett. Read less

I wish that I could say something good about this school, but I can't. The harassment from other students is out of control!

This school has been a huge disappointment for our family. The students have total control at this school. Where are the teachers when these students are smoking, 'making out' in the halls?
