Not that great of a school. I had a good time here as a GATE student. Most teachers GATE or not…read morewere nice and really not that strict. The school did give me mental health problems, but that's mainly my fault for not doing some of my work and leaving me in a rabbit hole. Kids are kind of mean and cocky, something you would see in a private school. I was bullied for not catching dodgeballs zooming past my head at 100mph. The GATE students have their own hierarchy that works mostly the same as the normal students, but it's kinda different. The whole "popular kids" thing is really messed up. No, Alex, just because you hit a ball with a stick and laugh like a monkey should not make you popular. The dean was a little mean to me, but we are on good terms now. The main school does not respect my religion and beliefs. They laughed at me for wearing a cross. If you get put into a cubby, they WILL forget about you. I don't recommend dating anyone because let's be honest-- it's all idiot teenagers in one big building. I've dated twice and both of those experiences sucked booty. The weird gay kids are treated like babies, and it creates an unfair school environment. I don't care if someone made fun of you for being gay, move on. Some good things is the electives, teachers, and lunch times, but most of it is negative. Some staff are rude, but only some. The "phone away all day" is bs because I've seen kids walking with their phones without consequences. Teachers also can be passive aggressive and only treat the popular kids like actual students as someone who has experienced that. That's really all, and if you are looking into this school, I only recommend it if you are in the GATE program.

From a senior who has been here since the lockdown, don't send your kid to this school. Sure, I…read morehave had wonderful teachers here, but it honestly sucks. If you complain to the principal over serious issues, he doesn't care, he doesn't even respond to you. There was a code yellow like last year and it should've been a code red cause people brought weapons on property and they wanted to cover it up. Other students and myself are the only reason parents got a call the NEXT day about it. There's too many details to share here. Even today I am terrified when the announcements sound comes over the speakers if it is at a random time. Many people at our school are aware of the stoners and vapers and they don't do anything about it. It's so bad that you can't go into certain bathrooms because those are the 'smoke spots'. As I did mention, I have had some wonderful teachers, so it just sucks that I have to complain about the teachers here as well. For this one teacher, in context (which doesn't make it much better) we talked about humanistic psychology and a criticism of it is that they are over accepting. Basically the teacher stated that "so if you ___ 4 year olds." Yeah, we all looked at each other disgusted like "Did he really say that? That's disgusting." That same teacher has also made very rude and snarky remarks to students. A very very controlling person. Some days I don't wanna go to school because I'm scared he'll make remarks about me and humiliate me in front of the class, he's already done it to me. After lunch, I think based on my experience, the upstairs bathrooms are a hit or miss because they are either locked all class period during 3rd period or open after 20 minutes. So if you really need to use it, Aunt Flo has arrived, or whatever, you're screwed until the end of the day if you're lucky enough to get to a bathroom. Honestly, if you want better education for your kids: go somewhere else. Maybe even go to Finland. Overall, can't wait to graduate because this has been a rollercoaster if the rollercoaster was barely on the track, had no seatbelts, and was on fire. Edit: Another thing, they just told us a week ago that we could be staying till 4:30pm for the exam, which would be ok, IF they told us like a month ago. So now the teacher basically said to just take that day off from work, for students who work, when it is probably too late to say anything. But the problem is, I have an off campus that day (which I worked s hard to get) and the purpose for that off campus is to help my dad because of medical issues. They literally told me I can't do anything about it so now I have to figure out 1. How to get home 2. Where to put my stuff 3. How my dad will get the help he needs.

So I heard North Valleys High School has a bad rap for a speech and some snacks. Let me give some…read moretrue insight as a member of the class of 2015. As a school that allows every student to have that true stereotypical High School experience you walk through the doors to see it just as such. You have a full school full of individuals of every background, every clique, fully staffed with some of the dedicated teachers, counselors and disciplinarians I've ever met. Every year I had a teacher who stood out to me more than others, some for good reasons and others not. My freshman year took the cake for me. I had some amazing teachers. had a very sweet biology teacher her who took more time than I have ever seen get to know students and still to this day, I don't know a single person who has something bad to say. My algebra teacher was just the same and is the reason I don't entirely hate math. Both teachers throughly took the time to teach each student what they were suppose to learn in ways each person could understand. Each year I had a couple teachers who will forever have a special place on my heart and owe so many thanks to for being a part in helping me achieve my success. It feels like a really long time ago that I went to north valleys but it would still be a place I consider for my children when thinking of what school to put them in, when they get older. As far as I've seen and heard, it's still the same high school I grew to know and love.

The basketball team and teachers are so aggressive. My daughter was pushed multiple times and…read morecaused severe damage to her knee which was previously sprained. This is absolutely unacceptable and racist because my daughter was the only one targeted and she is half- African American and the coaches obviously do not care about their reputation, because the constant pushing of my daughter with no repercussions. Also the school lunches here made my daughter throw up. Another teacher yelled at my daughter and her friends while they were attending a basketball game for "being without a parent" when I was right next to them. The teacher they were speaking to kicked her friends out because according to him, "I'm not their mom." This schools behavior is outrageous and I hope it eventually gets shut down. Don't even get me started on their soccer team. One of my daughters went to Shaw while the other goes to another school, I'm so glad I switched my daughter to the same school as the other because this is such horrible treatment, I don't know how I allowed this to happen to my daughter for so long. If I could give this school zero stars I wouldn't hesitate to.
