This school, amongst many other questionable decisions, has decided that for the final two weeks of the school year students will not be allowed to use the restroom during any of their classes. School hours are from 8:50 am to 4:25pm, meaning that for 7.5 hours, over 3000 students may only relieve themselves during their 7 passing periods of 5 minutes. This is inhumane and truly represents the careless direction the district is heading.

In my experience, this school has been amazingly great to me whatsoever. The teachers are very kind, and mainly help you with any questions you have. The teachers only punish bad students when they really deserve it and give them many chances to change! A classmate in my college and career class has actually stopped being a trouble maker after many calls to home from their teacher, which they started to get more work done. The students at this school haven't given me much trouble and are pretty cool I'd say for 8th graders, plus there have only been about 2 fights throughout January to March. This school has been a blast for me personally, and my grades have drastically improved compared to my other schools from the 70's to high 90's. I would love to stay here another year if I was only in 7th grade.. Overall, a fantastic school. :)

This school, like any other has its share of great teachers and not so great teachers. The one thing I can say for the district as a whole is that children are more than a number or a test score. Children are what drives this district. Personally, after removing my children from a Northside school because of bullying and lack of learning, one of my daughters went from failing in Northside to an honors student in one year because she had teachers who cared. My other went from a kinder reading level in second grade to a third grade level in one year, again because her teacher cared.
