The district’s minority enrollment is 10%. Also, 8.1% of students are economically disadvantaged.
I have loved my time at Norris. Norris is a wonderful school for the average student. However if you are anything other, Norris struggles. Despite this, I am an average student, so it worked out well for me. They have an amazing music program (specifically vocal) as well as great opportunities to start your own clubs and activities. This allows for great growth and leadership from the students.
Overall, I had a relatively positive experience at Norris. The staff consisted of many “younger” teachers who were often fresh out of college; this was great because oftentimes this made class a lot more enjoyable. Older teachers tend to have more dry classes, but the younger ones still seem enthusiastic about teaching. As long as you weren’t super distracting in class, and you worked hard, the teachers would all get along fine with you. The main knock I have against Norris is with their approach at preparing students for secondary education. In my opinion, the majority of the classes I took that weren’t dual-credit were really easy. I wouldn’t be surprised if half of the students coming out of Norris find or will come to find themselves overwhelmed by their college courses. At the end of the day, however, I still think Norris as a whole is one of the better high schools in the area.
