    I have had a great time at Northeast Magnet throughout high school. It is the best public high school around based on test scores, graduation rate etc. I am in the art magnet which has lots of different tracks you can take pertaining to art. They are hoping to be able to also add a performing arts track in the future! Most of the people here actually care about their education and want to graduate which is a big plus as well.

    This is the most diverse and accepting school I've ever been to. The teachers here are helpful and the students are very respectful towards each other. We follow an EXTENSIVE bully free policy, and we each treat it like it is one of our 27 Amendments. We love to see new faces! We also love getting to know each other. We are a family, and treat each other like such. This is the best family to have, and I am going to miss it greatly when I graduate.
    Northeast Magnet strives for excellence not only in academic performance, but also in the environment of the school. The teachers and staff are very encouraging and supportive of their students, as well as accepting of diversity. Northeast has three magnet areas, Art, Law, and, Science. These magnet areas further prepare students in their desired area of study for college; pertaining to one of the three magnets (art, law, or science). They have a high graduation rate and have been ranked as the 10th best high school in the state of Kansas.
