Teachers are well educated and qualified. The major problem is overcrowding!!! The building is so incredibly run down that my son is miserable half the time. He feels kids should get much more out of a public school. One teacher trying to control a class of 30 kids and still trying to learn has been

I believe that North has great Teachers but it needs a new building. The teachers are great and I feel that I have learned way more in one year at North than I learned at Boston College High School. I needed help my senior year and I was given all of the help that I asked for.

Let me say that this school needs some improvements. The teachers and the counselors don't seem to care at all about the kids. They have a no-care attitude. These kids are getting a below average education. For being a new resident, I'm sorry I ever bought in Plymouth.

I am a graduate of PNHS (class of 2003). I spent my entire High School career at North, and I loved it. They had very supportive staff including the guidance counselors, a psychologist, and to recieve advice when you needed it. I had stellar teachers, countless opportunities for extra-curriculars, all

Yes, the facility needs replacing, but what matters most are the availability of varied programs, the quality of the teachers, and most importantly, the student's desire to succeed. If your child has a thirst to learn, this school will help him/her go far. I have no regrets about attending PNHS, and have a wonderful life today, in part because of the good education I earned there. Read less

I rarely studied and was bored in my classes, but I graduated valedictorian of my year. That says a lot. I was not pushed to take a variety of classes. The one redeeming thing was the weighted system, which meant my AP classes were 'worth' more than prep or basic classes.

PNHS is a school with basically no structure, no discipline, and no control. Students are just wandering through the halls and nothing is done about it. Fights are a common occurance here. Other positive reviews about this school are just not accurate. Too many bad teachers that don't seem to care, outnumber
