Northgate Middle School/High School Reviews


Posted By: other Quality Score: 4 2008-11-06 “I am a recent Northgate Graduate and it makes me sick how little faith parents have in Northgate School District. Northgate excides the state average in PSSA scores. In responding to the parent that complained about hygiene of students, it is not the schools responsiblity to teach hygiene that is something that is taught in the home. I got a wonderful education at Northgate, which is helping me to excel in college. Northgate is a wonderful school that provides it students with the best education, if the students are willing to learn!” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2008-10-13 “To all those parents that are disappointed with the school, you apparently do not know what you are talking about. I am currently a senior at Northgate. I am in all honors classes. The reason I am in honors classes is because of the good education I am getting at this school. The parent that said we cannot compete with other schools in the area clearly cannot get his/her facts straight. Out of the PSSA scores from last year (2007-08 school year) we ranked well above most schools in the state. To all those that think we have a lack of education, you must be the parents that have kids that don't care about school and you are expecting the school to handle that problem because you are too lazy to discipline your child. The middle school offers plenty of extra corricular activities.I was involved in many of them.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-09-28 “The good the bad and the ugly. 7th and 8th graders should not be in the high school with 9-12th. We need a middle school! The kids are exposed to way too much too soon. The new principal is striving to improve discipline for students and accountabililty for teachers.It has been difficult. Many students who have been kicked out or drop out walk the streets all day. Security stinks. The bar is only raised for the few elite and they are still not prepared well enough for college. Parents have to fight for everything. There is a lack of extracurricular activites for MS, so they are lost until 9th grade. Many of the teachers are excellent, others don't give homework because they don't expect the kids to do it. Constant discipline issues. Elementary schools are great, HS mediocre at best. We're out of here.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-09-12 “Our child enjoyed this school because she became involved in the honor classes and joined band. The teachers she had challenged her to strive for more. I noticed there is a lack of discipline overall. The Arts program is wonderful at this school and they focus on having fun and enjoy learning. They are not strict about doing everything perfectly right.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-03-05 “Northgate MS/HS is wonderful. Most of the teachers are really great and the guidance counselors and office staff are the best. My child attended Northgate schools since the third grade and she just loved this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2007-02-05 “I am very disapointed in the overall quality of the schools. My child, who attends the middle school, always comes home complaining about the lack of hygiene among the student population. For the extrodinarily high taxes we are paying, I expect a better return for my money. In the middle school, they only require 4 1/2 weeks of gym and health class each. They are too focused on fine arts when the students don't even know how to take a shower. The math and reading curriculum is better than average. The level of parent involvement is relatively low. This is my child's last year in this school district.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2006-10-30 “While the size of the school and town were appealing to me at first, I must say that Northgate does not strive to achieve excellence at the athletic or academic level. This school district seems completely comfortable with expecting nothing out of these children. Northgate can't even 'compete' with others schools in the area. 'Mediocre' at best and they are completely happy with that. The teachers and coaches have very little say, the parents and the powers that be rule everything. As a parent, I would not like to be a teacher or coach at Northgate, and I am doing all I can to move out of the area.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-08-26 “i have 7 children in school district and i would have to say i would wouldnt move from here until they ALL graduate. Just love everything about the schools.”
