This school has been very effective for my kids. My daughter graduated with honors and a certified nursing assistant license. She just finished her first year at a local university and is almost a Junior. They emphasize dual enrollment with the local community College instead of AP just because the dual enrollment credit is guaranteed college credit with the UNC system. My son is currently a Sophomore at this High School and is enrolled in both High school and college classes. They are encouraged by the staff and Admin to work at their pace.

for the past years a lot of improvement has been made and this school is working hard for the best of students. Unfortunately this website was not claimed by the school so the information here is not accurate and unfair to NB HS./

It's discouraging when your child comes home and tells you the assistant principal told her not to worry about the conduct referrals she gets because she has a bad teacher, especially when your daughter is learning and likes the teacher. I'm also not very happy that teachers have all but given up holding students accountable for being late. My child should be confronted with consequences for every tardy. One child gets suspended for the fifth tardy, and then later gets a warning for their 11th tardy. I expect the discipline process to be very well defined, written and posted for what happens at each level, and then fairly delivered. That issue got worse each of the last four years. I'm hoping college and real life will fix the wrong messages about consequences Mr. Simmons has cultivated.

I have one graduate and two currently enrolled at NBHS. I truly believe that your attitude shaprs your experience. All three of mine are doing/ have done well. They challenge themselves and found good friends and committed staff.
