This school doesnt care about student safety. When a kid is bullied all they say is we will take care of it. they dont and it continues. I will never send my kid or other family to this school.... Also they never return parents phone calls.

North High has educated 2 generations of this family. All of the Cantu's have gone on to be productive and successful members of society. The boys participated in sports learning the valuable lessons of teamwork and good sportsmanship. Now we have a daughter there walking in her uncles footsteps. We appreciate the teahers and staff for all of their hard work. They instill in the minds and hearts the inspiring traditions of North High. Our family appreciates North High's contributions to our family members for over 50 years.

North High is a very diverse high school. Its students get a chance to experience interacting with students from other cultures. The teachers who have been there a long time are great! My two children have fond memories of their time at North High.

It's a good school.. There isn't usually any fighting. It is a very diverse school with many clicks. The teachers do get involved but if you want a schedule change they won't let you, if you want one it will be a hassle..

For the resources that this school has, it does very well in educating it's students. North High's staff and teachers take pride in the diversity that this school brings and it offers classes in many different kinds of languages and is has great teachers. My daughter didn't like the school at first, because the school didn't do a lot at the beginning of the year to help new students adjust and meet other students, but she grew to really like her teachers. The teachers really give the students encouragement and that is most likely why you see such a high graduation rate. I do agree that the school could do more to bring fun activities into the high school experience and to bring more school spirit.

North High School is a great school for any child. It has the most graduates out of all the other Torrance high schools, has successfully gotten the highest WASC accredidation in torrance history (6 years!) and has teachers and faculty members that really care. I love North High. Very diverse, fun activities, no fights. Best school in Torrance by far.
