I went to this school over 30 years ago, my oldest son went to this school, my youngest attends this school, my step children have attended this school and my daughter will soon attend this school. The teachers here really care about their students and communication is easy using class dojo. I can send a message and get a reply within the hour. We are kept up to date with assignments, forms needed, field trips, tests, events etc. My oldest son when he attended made honor roll, so does my current son that goes here. My son that currently goes does have an IEP and has additional support in the class room, everyone that supports him in school is friendly and very helpful and my son makes honor almost every quarter. I see the reviews about bullying but as long as you communicate with your child, their teacher etc its handled. The test scores I see aren't great for the school as a whole, hopefully it improves.

From a graduating senior, Norview high is a school that can give students many different experiences based on their choices. there are many different routes that can be taken through Norview. How well a student does at the school is mostly based on them and their own decisions. Teachers and counselors can't be fully blamed for the sub-par student performance in the school, as a noticeable part of the student population lacks self-motivation/initiative. There are many opportunities for advanced courses such as Honors or AP classes available to all students, not just those in the specialty program. To parents nervous about their child attending this school in the future, they'll be fine if they use good judgment, stick to their work, and hang with the right people. In my opinion, the school can do a good job preparing students for college or a vocation, as long as the student has the initiative to put themselves into the necessary classes or programs to ensure they have a stable future beyond high school.In terms of the school's safety, it can get a little rough sometimes with the constant fights, but in my opinion, they're just a part of growing up I guess, avoid them and dont think too much of them.Overall, I think Norview High can be made a good school by a focused, driven student, or made a bad school by an unfocused student just drifting along in the river of life. To concerned parents, your child will be fine, as long as you ensure they are completing their necessary coursework and not lingering in the hallways.

This school is the worst to Teach!! The disrespectful , rude and disgusting behavior of students makes teaching hard. Bullying and fighting is daily event. They shout at teachers and laughing about it.
