    "Northern High School is a very dangerous place and if had a choice would never send my child there. The administration try to cover up how dangerous it is but students and teachers are assaulted, guns seen by students on the bus and nothing done about it. They are more concerned with their image than the safety of the students and staff and will never change until the entire administrative staff are gone."

    "Both of my children attend Northern and I can't be happier. All of the teachers that I have been in contact with are superb! The teachers are excellent and really do care for the kids. I am confident that my son will graduate with the leadership and academic skills that he needs. Great teachers need a great principal and I believe that Northern has both."

    "My son will graduate this academic year, 2009. He is ill-prepared for college and the world in general. When I was growing up in the area, NHS was 'the best'. Boy have things changed. My daughter WILL NOT be attending NHS. I will be sending her to another county! I think administration is doing the best that they can. Keeping everyone safe is probably consuming much of the resources, time, and effort. I feel that if the school system supported the policy 'if you don't want to behave, then leave' then schools in general would be able to do what they're suppose to do---EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN. If these young men or women don't want to learn then get OUT!! Don't make it more difficult for the rest. I also recognize the fact that because NHS has deteriorated in quality, they have not been able to attract quality educators."
