One thing I like about N. 13th St. Campus is that it has different shop classes. Shop classes are a big help to many students in the school.

This school has great things to offer. We have a dedicated staff that does their best to ensure student achievement. We offer free tutoring, SAT, and HSPA prep. Students are able to choose either before or after school to attend. This ensures that prep classes work around their on their own obligations

Another positive is the school s attention to security and safety. When teachers and students feel safe, the academic environment is allowed to flourish. As a vocational school, students learn a trade skill which they will take with them forever. Students can use this skill to enter to job market or to supplement their income during the college years. The guidance department is second to none. They assist students in applying to colleges, provide career assistance, and make the difficult transitions into and out of high school easier for apprehensive students. This school is a great school for students who are looking to gain knowledge and experience in both the vocational and academic realms. Read less

We didn't have a talent show in a long time and we only have like 1 or 2 assemblys a year. Which is very unffair! We deserve more! Like I mentioned in the begginning North 13th is a 'good' school, but with more activites (dance club, drama club, choir, etc.) this school would be great, excellent, but most importantly the best!
