My school experience here has been not the greatest. Teachers are rude, there are fights almost every day, bomb threats and more. Once you get up into 8th grade, it’s a lot more calm than 7th and 6th. The principle only cares for male sports that are popular. (Like football and baseball) they don’t care for any other sports as much. They don’t care for discipline either, sure you. Might get ISS or OSS for like a week but it doesn’t do too much. It doesn’t change how they act or what they do. Many teachers are rude and yell for even the little things. They also give old/stale food. We’ve received old ranch that made a lot of students sick. I would never ever send my kid here, it’s like a prison and this school sucks! They don’t have service either so you wouldn’t be able to call your parents unless they allowed you to. Even if you were puking, and you didn’t have proof they wouldn’t let you call and they’d have to absolutely check you temperature. This only proofs they don’t care about your mental health or wellbeing. They also do not care about dress code either, girls will walk around with their stomachs all the way out with short shorts and nobody will say anything, but the second you get off successmaker they write you up and you get lunch d-hall or ISS. Be for real. Don’t send your kids here.

Some staff were not up to par and principal didn't seem to know what was going on in the classroom.

This school is a very mediocre institution. The administration often seems lost and ignorant as to how to appropriately approach situations. The vice principal once told me that, in regard to the school's performance, "It doesn't matter what the kids think." NHS hardly prepares the student for college, and does even less to prepare them for the real world and having a career. Many teachers seem to try harder at being the students friend instead of actually teaching. It is however, what you make of it, and the resources provided by the school can be used by an independent mind to very much succeed.
