this school is horrible and doesn't treats students with learning disabilities like people, students get horrifically bullied and the school does nothing.

I went to this school, it was horrible. The principals didn't do anything when I was sexually assaulted in the locker room even though there were witnesses, they only made it so we couldn't be in the same room. Some teachers were great and made it better, but a lot of the teachers were rude, didn't care about teaching at all, discriminated against LGBTQ+ students and their pronouns/names, there were multiple fights, and a lot of the students are druggies. There are vape and drug exchanges happening, and yet they are so convinced that only some students need to get in trouble. If you get in trouble once they immediately decide that you will always be a troublemaker, and won't listen to you if you didn't do anything wrong. One of the teachers completely ignored me when I was having a severe panic attack and almost passed out. The school is also in a VERY unsafe neighborhood, and we would often be kept inside to be safe. There were SWAT vans occasionally, and SEVERAL weird people around the buildings. The play directors say that the higher the grade, the better the role in the play, but it's a complete lie. They pick favorites and don't even bother choosing someone more deserving of a role. If you have special needs or a learning disability, the teachers almost NEVER help and completely ignore your needs. This school is one of the worst schools I've been to and has left me with severe trauma, trust issues, and a constant feeling of being in danger.

North is an amazing school. The administration and teaching staff have high expectations of the students and the students do a great job at hitting or exceeding those expectations. North has a great atmosphere for all students and is very welcoming.
