North Hills Senior High School Reviews
Rating 3.99 out of 5 387 reviews
The teachers are most likely the best part of the school. I have consistently emailed my teachers if I ever need help, and they would do everything they could to help. Sometimes they would offer service after school as well. Compared to other schools, it is one of the best. Even though it is one of the best, there are bad parts about it. Not the schools themselves but some of the students. A handful of students are always messing around in the bathrooms, doing things they are not supposed to. It upsets me but overall my school is amazing.
Overall, North Hills is a pretty good school! It has a fantastic music program and theatre program! The teachers are generally very accommodating, though some work still needs to be done when considering students with mental health issues or who are part of the LGBTQ+ community. There’s a GSA, but not many resources or education surrounding LGBTQ issues are supplied, so I’d like to see that be developed more. They could do with better funding for the arts programs, as the sports programs are overfunded (as is common in US high schools). Overall a pretty good school!
North Hills Senior High School has treated me well through my years in attendance. My teachers are always willing to help me, and almost every AP and college level course I have wanted to take has been available to me. By taking these classes, I am always surrounded by others who are hard working. I do know that there are many less committed students, and their decisions definitely cannot go unnoticed. However, most altercations are shut down fairly quickly, and all of the staff works hard to make sure nothing bad is happening both in between and during class.
