I am a parent of 2 NSHS graduates and a current senior and sophomore. They have had a wonderful experience at North Side. The diversity at the school has served them well. Although at times, they have complained about some of the behaviors at the school, both college kids recently told me that knowing how to work with people from all socio economic groups as well as cultures has given them opportunities in their choosen field of studies that would not otherwise be possible. They are in very competitve fields and are 'mixing it up' with the best and brightest from around the world. Chuck Deford is an outstanding Principal. The music and athletic opportunities are great with dedicated booster groups. The guidance office has several programs in place to help the kids apply and become accepted to the top colleges in the nation.
North Side High School has many problems, but at the top of the list is a major lack of communication between the office staff. As a former student, I was disappointed that they delayed sending out my college transcripts! After many of my fellow students had received their acceptance letters, I called in and after about 3 weeks of talking back and forth, they discovered that they misfiled them. As a result, I was denied admission to my first 2 choices for colleges. They did apologize, but it was too late. The good attributes about this school is that it is diverse and does provide interesting opportunities for students of both genders and all races, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations, disabilities and backgrounds.
Northside is an excellent school starting with the principal how he knows every single students name is beyond me but impressive to say the least to see such involvement the teachers truly care about their students and are encouraging the school is ran in a fun but disiplined manner and the only thing i would change is the enrollment process the office staff is rude unorganized and had i left the school with that first impression my child wouldnt have attended northside thank goodness i gave it a second chance
