The school system has both ups and downs. While most of the teachers there are truly great and engage with the students sometimes you have a teacher who does not teach in an accessible way. Another fact to touch on is all the problems with the buildings, between the faulty HVAC and the bathrooms constantly being shut down, it is a hindrance on students and teachers daily. But where there is bad there is also good. I’ve always gotten great help when it comes to my accessibility issues. I also have had some truly amazing teachers and admin. So the school system has both ups and downs just like any other place
Overall I felt like the school itself was pretty good compared to most others education wise. I felt like the students and faculty were pretty accepting too (speaking from my own experience and the students in my year), I'm trans and I felt like the majority of the lgbt or minority students were respected. I personally never saw any bullying (from my experience) and I'm pretty glad to have spent my high school career here.
Northern has also recently been renovated and the new buildings are great! All 3 buildings are connected through a tough glass hallway and it's very visually pleasing.
For facilities, they have a weightlifting room, a gym, a running track, a baseball feild, and some others. For arts, Northern has the Mary Harrison building where there is the auditorium, the theatre room, the clay room, and two of the art classrooms (photography/digital arts, painting/drawing, etc.) I myself am an art student and I enjoy the programs they have for it, especially the AP courses.

Overall Calvert county is a decent school system. It does not stick out among other schools in MD. We are a small county consisting of only 4 high schools so opportunities can be limited. Besides the limited population and resources our school system does a good job of creating good extracurricular programs such as theatre and NJROTC. The 4 high schools are quiet divided from each other due to their differing populations, it would be nice if we were a more connected community with better and more equal funding. We did just receive a new Superintendent so hopefully changes are on the horizon.
