    Going to Northside High School is an amazing opportunity. The way I am allowed to attend is through a magnet program since I am not zoned for the school. At Northside, everyone has a fair chance of equal education. The teachers are helpful and although they challenge us, they want to see the best in us. I would rate my overall experience at Northside an excellent!
    Northside High School is not the best school. There is a lot of drama with students, drama with teachers, and the people at Northside are just cruel. I do not like it here because I enjoy being around happy and nice people. Everyone at Northside has a negative attitude and is always in a bad mood. Although, there are good teachers. These teacher know how to teach and there is a great disciplinarian in our school.
