Northgate has a very strong parent support base and wide variety of of AP and Honors classes. I am very glad we are here and NOT at Las Lomas or Acalanes due to the neighborhood and the strong parental support. It does make a difference. GET INVOLVED and stop complaining. Even if you work fulltime, find a way to help.

Northgate was once a great school but it's now on a downward academic slide. There is no way it is a 10, maybe 8. The parents in this community are amazing but do not be fooled into thinking your kids will have the opportunity to pursue cutting edge academic goals. Get yourself over to LL or Acalanes. Northgate 'talks' academic excellence but the reality is they stop at 'good enough' and won't support a higher vision, even if the student asks for help. Wish they would wake up and turn this around.

Does this school have all-time lockers? Because I get lots of books and need an all-time locker.Or I might need a rolling backpack which won't be good.

Northgate is a terrific school. The teachers and staff are hardworking and caring. They motivate the kids to do the best they can, and prepare them for life after high school. Our students are a great group of kids with a sense of community and school spirit. I can't say enough about our principal, we love him. Our only drawback is our school district, we if could get them in shape it would be even better.

Northgate high school is such a united school everyone is there for eachother. Our six man section at basketball games is one highlight of the year we are able to show our support. When a tragedy hits northgate we all come together and help eachother get through it. I defintaly think Northgate is the best school for many many reasons.

Northgate is easily the best school around. I've spent time on the other campuses, and none of them even come close. The students are mean, stupid and/or very very annoying. The teachers are braggarts and don't know what they're talking about. Sure, the grounds might look a little nicer than ours, but that's not what really counts when it comes to a good school. We've got the best teachers and the best students around! Go Broncos!

Northgate is the best school I've attended in my entire life! The entire student population is like a family, thanks to all the activities the school does together. We have tons of fun rallies and out of school activites. Even though its hard to love your teachers at times, I always realize how much I appreciated and liked them at the end of the year. We have a terrific athletics program and always have a good time.
