Clarkstown North Senior High School

HORRIBLE. moved here from Hastings In WEstchester NY to Rockland's 'Clarkstown North.' Can't use my potential because the teachers are horrible and it has way too much stress. I regret every day I am here thinking where I could have stayed in WEstchester. HORRIBKE

I am in agreement with those that say this is a good school if your kid is exceptional or ESL. If you are an average student with potential you can easily be forgottenm especially if you are not like most of the parents constantly calling the teacher about their child.

This school puts way too much stress and pressure on the students. it has good academics but they never care about how happy the students are. with the amount of hw, projects, and essays i have, i never get a break.

This is a good school if your kid is exceptional or ESL. Most students in the middle are left behind. If a student here cannot get in the right click via the chosen religion or athletics then he/she will probably have a difficult time here.

North provides many learning opportunities for the bright, motivated student. Most of the teachers teaching advanced courework are dedicated and will work with the student tomake sure the student is working to his/her potential. However, some of the teachers that teach the 'regular' classes do not provide enough support and giudance to the 'average' student, the one that needs the support the most. No worries if you kid is in all Honors;however, keep the 'regular' teachers in line by letting them know you are watching their performance as well as your child's.

Having my daughter attend North High was not one of my better judgements. That school needs a lot of work and instead of fixing the football field they should first fix the inside.

Going to north high school made it possible for me to get into a good college of my choice, they helped me get the best education better then most private schools, and I played 3 varsity sports, I recommend north to any one who is looking to move to rockland county because it is among the best of the best, some of the nicest people and smartest students attend north, we have the test scores to prove it and not to mention in 2006 when I graduated, 99% of students went off to college. and every single student graduated out of my 499 person class

Clarkstown North students have unbelievable opportunities and advantages. I suppose that isn't unusal for a wealthy town. School work is HIGHLY stressed and VERY competitive. Seniors go on to great schools like Cornell and Princeton. The only real problem is that 'average' students (which do seem to be in the 'minority') seem to be herded and can get 'lost' because a lot of attention is placed to the AP students. Classrooms have computers and plasma TVs. This is probably one of the best public high schools in New York State.

It is probably the best public school out there.
