This school has an amazing group of parents that want to be involved with their school.

The school promotes parent involvement as a key to the success of the students. Our district has cutting edge technology and because we are a smaller district it allows our teachers the time they need to make the most out of the time they spend with our children. We have an excellent band, choir and athletic program. There are opportunities for students to be involved in Student Council and Science Olympiad. The majority of our teachers have taught in the district for several years and I feel that speaks for itself. I feel we have an excellent school district and would highly recommend our district to anyone considering moving to our quaint, small town on the lake.

We are a very small district yet year after year we turn out some of the smartest kids and are still able to get the class sizes small so the kids get more 1 to 1 interaction...kids thrive with little or no extras as the budgets keep getting cut yet our kids still manage to beat the odds.

Our school is the best since it is a smaller learning environment (100 or less students per grade level), and they really get these kids ready for high school. My second child is graduating from NP in a month, and both of them are very well adjusted kids due to the school district, and North Prairie.

This junior high is awesome! Very helpful and caring with their students. When a student is struggling they are on top of it to find out the problem and get it resolved!!

I have a daughter in this school and feel that she is not getting the education she deserves. Detentions are common and the majority of the teachers and faculty have no compassion for the children. Also, for a school rich in tax dollars alot of financial help is still required from the parents.

I am a parent of a student that attends this school. I feel as if this school is cheating my children out of an education. They do not give the students an incentive for anything and are to hard on them. I feel that my daughter is getting a poor education and I as her mother feel lied to and cheated.
