North Reading High School is a very prestigious school. Although it lacks diversity and is a predominately white school, it offers electives to encourage teaching of various religions and cultures. The preparation precautions for college are average. The guidance counselors provide resources such as a Common Application bootcamp to guide juniors going into senior year through the process, but do not make an effort to talk through their struggles one-on-one. However, my junior year had been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and it's possible that the juniors before me have received more thorough assistance. All academics taught at the school are above average, and students are given a choice of Academic or Honors classes depending on teacher recommendations and what the student is comfortable with, as well as multiple AP class options are available starting sophomore year. Overall, North Reading High School is an exceptional school.
Overall, my time at NRHS was very adequate. I was one of those kids who was a floater (being in theater, a varsity tennis player, and student mentor) so I interacted with a number of cliques. Even though I struggled to fit in at times, I recognize the school's virtue.
The faculty overall is very motivated to teach their students, even for those who aren't always motivated to learn in return. In fact, coming into high school, I was struggling with mathematics and wasn't eager to participate in class discussions. However, every math class I was a part of, including algebra, geometry, and statistics, was led by very enthusiastic professionals who worked hard themselves to improve their lessons for the future.
The environment of the school was always kept clean and since it is a new model, it is in mint condition. Even during this pandemic, the administration has been hard at work to easily accomodate parents' concerns, offering a hybrid and all-remote model of learning for students.

I grew up attending international schools and was always used to that lifestyle. However, attending North Reading High School was less of a dramatic shift than I had expected. I was considered an outcast at my previous school because I was American, as ironic as it may seem, and I never truly felt like I fit in. When I moved here everyone was incredibly welcoming and helped me become the person I am today.
