Northland Pines High School

Our teacher's really care about the well being and futures of our children. They are organized and give the word 'teacher' a great respected name.

Beautifully new building, but poor quality education inside it. Most teachers are only doing enough to get through their teaching day, while students suffer by lack of knowledge and education that should be happening in the classroom. Students only do enough to get by, because nothing of true quality is expected of them. Policies in writing are not followed. Dress-code is not enforced. No consistency with consequences or rewards. I would not recommend this school, unless you have come from a very low-quality education already.

As a 2000 graduate of NPHS I feel as though I was not prepared for the outside world and what college was going to throw at me academically. I struggled through college and got a four year degree.

the school doesnt really think about whats best for the kids. they think about how much its going to cost...

The High school dropped a foreign language(German) for a year and Seniors didn't get their fourth year and German 2 and 3 have lost a year of knowledge. The 2007 school year will have a German teacher because a handful of students, a mom, and the intro/German 1 teacher fought for getting their foreign language back and what I disliked the most is there were 2 Spanish teachers and still are. The band and choir teachers quit because the district cut the middle school band teacher, which were all great aquatintes. Parents don't do much except help with field trips, give their kids money for the snack bar, and chaperone dances.
