North Clayton High School

My son attends NCHS and he loves it. All schools have bad apples and they must be weeded out. For the last two years, NCHS has exceeded any other school in Clayton Cty with receiving scholarships, so they cant be that bad. They have several programs that can help each child. And parents must be involved in their child's education, whether elementary, middle or high school. NCHS has great education opportunies.

I believe their academic programs which include the international baccalaureate scholars, offer students choices that most high schools do not have.

North Clayton is an overall good school . I am a senior here at North Clayton and i feel prepared to go out and start my life. The teachers that I have really care and tought me that my education is important and i will not get any where without one . We have made AYP in the past year and we are looking forward to making it next year.

NCHS is moving in the right direction. Parents and community participation will make this the best school in Georgia. The school does not get the funding it need for administrate staff, updated technology, students music instrument, and school basic supplies.

I just moved to Ga last year and to be honest, North Clayton isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Like in all schools, there are teachers who really care and there are other who work for a paycheck. There a students who come to work hard and get an education and there are others who play around. All high schools have discipline problems. Although, I think that North Clayton has had more than its share. You really do have to take the good with the bad. I think that it's an ok school; however, it wouldn't be my primary choice.

Hi, I'm a freshman here at North Clayton and I'll say since I've been here there has been some chaos. First of all some teachers really care about the kids and try to help but most don't even try. This school has over 600 freshmen and that's a problem. My bus was over crowded until November because there wasn't enough seats for everybody so the last two stops had to stand up and my stop was the last one. So that was a problem but not anymore for my bus but it took them to long to find a solution. This year we went through 4 principals before Christmas break. The after school activities are ok even though I'm not in any, but there isn't a lot of them.

I have been to the school on 3 occasions. I have noticed a caotic enviorment in the office area. Very harsh not warm and comforting. I felt unwelcomed when visiting the school.

They are worried about the kids wearing long shirts thats 3 inchs pass the waist, although the ruled book states something different but there s more the boys shirt can not be above the waist line nether I think GA has a lot of things to change in the school system and tackle the real issues that affect learning.' Not if your shirts to long . A student

As A Student Of North Clayton High I personally feel that North Clayton has improved over the years but still have along way too go. There are many great teachers there but there are also teachers there who hate there job and does care about the students learing process. For any parent looking to enroll there child in this school I say Keep looking its not worth it.

The shcool is what the staff, children and parents have made it out to be regardless of participation it is still an excellent school. The choices to learn is up to that individual student with the necessary encouragement of the parent(s). I would especially like to give Dr. Manning two thumbs up because he is truly a wonderful principal who has been an influential disciplinary authority as well as a mentor to my children. Just like in the olden days--there is a new sheriff in town. There has been good and bad experiences but more good than bad. I was sad to hear that Dr. Manning would be leaving but happy for his due promotion however upon speaking to him he assured me that he would still be a part of NCHS. VRG Thanks

North Clayton High School is not a bad school. I have the right to say this because I graduating from this school in May 2005. If you havent walk the halls of this school you have no say about it. The faculity and staff provide us with help in learning and whatever we need to accomplish the goal of graduating. I enjoyed all four years in school and im proud to call myself a fellow eagle.!

Well i am not a parent i am a student at north clayton and this year was my first year. North clayton is not really a bad school like people make it seem. They seem to always notice on the news the bad days we have but they never notice our achievements like for instance they did not put on the news how we had the highest science scores in clayton county on the georgia graduation test. I think we have a great principal because of the way he tries to work with all the students.
