I think this is the worse school my children have ever went to. I have never seen a school that has so much red tape in my life to excuse a child for being tardy or absent. It's ridiculous. I would hope someone investigates this school's practices. Not only this school, but the GISD period. It is

I have 2 students at NGHS. I feel the school is over crowded. Kids with needs fall through the cracks. Because of the teacher/student ratio in each class, I feel the teachers are overwhelmed causing some of them to be indifferent rather than involved in the students success or failure.
