North Vermilion High School

My son, who's on the autistic spectrum, has been repetitiously accused of saying things he's never said, nor never even been caught saying. There's a few kids on campus that group together in a click, or a gang, as well used to call it, who can't get away with anything because the group maintained the lie when bearing witness. My son has been repeatedly disciplined, prevented from being in school activities that we helped fund, and ridiculed. He was told his schedule would be shifted to help him in his academics. He was put in a classroom without a subject or even a full time teacher. I'm not the only one having issues like this, I'm the only one brave enough to speak about it publicly.

Very involved staff that care about the children and their future. Parents are always taking time out to volunteer and encourage school activities.

The education I received at this school fully prepared me for my time at LSU, which I graduated from with a 3.5 GPA. I also scored a 27 on my ACT because of the well rounded education I received. The classes are small, the teachers are experienced and the extracurricular activities are there for the right reasons - to teach responsibility and teamwork, not to win the school prestige. I enjoyed high school as much as a student can while there, but looking back and at other schools in my new area has proven that NVHS is a FANTASTIC school! You can be as involved in your child's school experience as you want, and if the administration knows you, it doesn't have to be for a negative reason.
