North Central provides tons of opportunities for students to succeed, including an apprenticeship that I am proudly apart of. They also have some fun traditions such as homecoming, grad dance, senior run, and more! However, there have been a few significant incidents regarding the safety of students and staff, such as fights and weapon use. If your child were to attend, I would recommend that you check on them regarding their friends and environment. Otherwise, it's an amazing school.
North Central High School is a school that is committed to helping its students through their academics and sports. There are so many opportunities and resources around for the students to use to their full advantage and reach their full potential. North Central is also an International Baccalaureate school and It is a dynamic community with broad diversity in cultures, religions, and races. Every student has access to an individual technology device to enhance their learning experience and each building has the support of a social worker and mental health provider to address the social and emotional needs of all students. There is also a special program called The J. Everett Light Career Center that serves 1,730 students and offers 25 career-related programs. Overall the school is ranked 4/5 by GreatSchool and a 4/5 by Niche and is a GREAT school!
I personally really enjoyed my time at North Central High School. I participated in honors classes, which were challenging. However, they got me out of a lot of general education classes in college. For the most part, my teachers were amazing(the physics teachers, not so much). The math department is really good. All of my teachers were willing to work to help me understand things. My favorite part of North Central was the extracurricular activities. I participated in both cross country and swimming and made some great friends through both activities. The coaches were also very friendly. I know that sometimes things that go on at North Central are not that great, but I personally never felt unsafe at school. The performing arts at North Central are also top tier. While I never participated in them, I went to watch many performances that were just incredible. Seeing the show choirs (counterpoints/descants/accents) is a must for going to this school. I would recommend this school
