Great school great teachers and a great place if your in morgantown this is the school to go to.
—Submitted by nada alkadi, a former student


Posted February 2, 2005

I have a son in first grade at North. My other son just got out and I think that they are both got a great education there. The teachers and the counselor are really interested in the students. They put in extra work, time and money to make sure that the students are learning to the best of their abilities. The principal knows the children by name and works really hard to make the parents welcome in the building. The building is kept very clean and has been kept up very well. Too bad these teachers can't teach my son and his friends through high school.
