seems to be pretty average when compared to other schools. Teachers that vary from person to person. Food that isn't that good. Counselors that don't seem to help. Not the best when it comes to college readiness. Seem to want to get people to just graduate then prepare them for anything. Most classes are only enjoyable if the teacher is good. Even the most boring of classes are enjoyable if your teacher is good. Counselors don't seem to notice if a student doesn't have the necessary credits to graduate. Some don't seem to want to even help students or are very unwilling to. Pretty good sports, football team seems to win often enough. Food seems to be a bit better than others but is still school food, so that's hardly a good thing. Relatively clean school. No bugs or pests or things of that nature. Very little time to get to class with the time allotted. Quite a struggle just to get to class on time. Especially with how crowded the halls are.
My teachers have all been excellent! The school district has been forward thinking in issuing chromebooks to all of its students and moving some of its curriculum online (in the event of winter weather) which put us in good shape when the outbreak of Covid-19 took place.
The district is currently building a new technology center...I only wish that I would have been completed before my senior year. But I'm glad that future classes will be able to enjoy it.

I think this district does a very good job. Certain schools excel in athletics, while certain excel more on the academic side, so the students and parents can chose which the value more. The high schools are both undergoing a major overhaul that will drastically update them. My high school, Southside High School had 8 national merit scholarship finalists this year, and at least one person gets a perfect 36 on the act. The other high school, Northside, has made the state championship game 3 times in the last 4 years in boys basketball, as well as twice on the girls team, each with division one athletes.
