Just graduated on the 16th of May, and North Port has taught me a lot about the future and how I can be more prepared for it. It makes me happy knowing I went to a good school that has brought success into a lot of peoples' lives, and I cannot wait to see where else it takes me. All the people are great, and keep you very involved. Needs are met, and a lot can be achieved if you go through the right process.

The school has a very good VPA and AICE curriculum program. Most teachers are very good with a few outliers. Overall I have enjoyed going to this school for my first 2 years.

NPHS is a good school. there are a lot of great teachers and staff. they offer multiple different programs including STC which I currently am in and have loved the opportunity to be a dual enrolled student in a practical nursing program. There is diversity and our academic programs are great, a couple things I would say I do not like about NPHS is the guidance counselors they have never been that helpful if anything my specific counselor has made things hard for me especially during my senior year, things that could have been avoided if there was better communication. But there will always been some kind of conflict of misunderstand anywhere you go and all you can do is try to resolve it which is what I did. other than that I would say NPHS is a decent school

I would rate my experience at this school a 5/10. I love to Learn new things, but the people/ environment is so depressing and uneasy. The people here ( by people I mean the students and staff) are just uneasy to be around (more from the students than staff). The whole school literally looks like a...

Good school, probably one of the bests in the states. It provides a good quality education and has programs like dual enrollment, AP, AICE, honors classes, etc. The teachers are overall very good, and so are the students. Obviously, there will be kids who are very disrespectful to the staff and thei...
