This middle school is the worst place I rated it on Google maps the learning environment seems toxic Northside middle school just deserve a two star some parents opinion I respect it not the best middle school option ever.

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 is the absolute worse school I have ever put my kids in. They were quickly disenrolled. All staff from the principal on down are unprofessional and do not care. The school is old, dirty and rundown. For it to be an elementary school they show no excitement, there's no decorum and no motivation. The teachers are uneducated. My kindergartner has a teacher assistant for a teacher. My 5th grader was bullied on and harassed by his teacher. My child was let out of the school by himself with no parent or adult present. They need to close this school down.
