North Port High School

This school has more Dual Enrollment and AP classes than any others in the area! Thank you, NPHS! Great staff! Great community! Much younger than most areas on this coast!

I have been a teacher at North Port High since the opening in August 2001. Currently, I have a daughter who attends NPHS. Therefore I am fairly qualified to review this school. I am proud to work at this school, which has consistently improved in many areas, each year. The advanced placement courses and dual enrollment have grown tremendously in course offerings and passing rates. The staff is the most caring and dedicated staff I have ever worked with. The visual arts programs is top notch! The culinary program is out of this world.

This is a school on the rise! The community has been a little slow to get on boad but people are beginning to realize the importance of a good school. I'm very excited about the future of this school and this town!

I have a current junior and a graduate from this school. My grad is on FULL scholarship at FSU, due to academics! My junior is on the same track. The instrumental (band) program is the shining star of this school! Mr. Bradley and Mr. Cole make the kids WORK and it gets results - Alliance D&B Corps is 6th in the state! Principal is very hands-on and involved in the school activities all the time. Great programs for advanced students, though they need more AP offerings, they fall way short of other top-ranking high schools.

I am a current Junior at NPHS. I just moved here from small town Key West, and upon seeing NPHS, I expected it to be an extremely advanced school. I was dissappointed when I got here. North Port has a large student population and low school funds, which means that there are simply not enough supplies to go around. I was appauled at the fact that this school is recognized for its 'OUTSTANDING' performing arts center when kids have to share music and sing 3rd grade songs. There are constantly fights pretty much every other day, and the administrators treat the students like they are in kindergarden instead of treating us with the freedom and maturity of young adults. North Port offers a lot academically, but personally for me, the lack of freedom and the shortage of school supplies (books etc) overshadows my want for a better education.

Anyone who has a child contemplating attending a good college should 'escape' from this school!!! The guidance department does not care, the good teachers are being burned-out by the non-disciplined students, and the course offerings are minimal compared with other schools!!!

NPHS is great. They worked hard with my son on his reading and math skills and the teachers were akways easy to reach. There were enough extra curricular activities including free FCAT prep classes. The principal and his assistant principals are very approachable and and anxious to work with parents. I just wish the grounds were cleaner.
