This is my sons third year at this school. He hated school for four years before starting here. Hes excited to go here every day. Hes in an autism/special education classroom and the staff and neurotypical students could not be better. They teach him by reaching him where he is and lifting him up. The gen ed students are so kind and inclusive to our children. I couldnt be happier with this school.

They make sure that the kids work hard and there are no excuses. They help with homework and have after school programs where they tutor you

Our overall experience with Northside High School was amazing. The leadership fosters an environment where every one belongs and feels like family. The teacher go the extra mile for their students. The athletic program is wonderful and the special ed department does a really good job with students with special needs. I wish I had sent my two older children to Northside instead of the other high schools they attended.

Mr. Hern wants to put down other people in class (local business owners) but doesn't realize when people fail at life they become high school English teachers.
