I have always been happy with the High School North, but when Mr Jackson left, and the rules began to be more strict, that is a true blessing. Dress codes are important, who wants to see anyones underwear, I know I dont! You cant bring in drinks, and thats a great one, why would we want to risk our children bringing in alcohol, and thats what would happen if we allowed that. Absenses this ones, a really important one, our district gets money if our students are attending school and learning, if theres no rules on attendence our school goes downhill, and we lose money, education is important, and if youre not a caring parent that wants your child to succeed, send them to a district that doesnt care. I rate this school 5 stars bravo LCN!!!! Close Quote

Soooo I'm just gonna straight up tell u don't go here.... ill save you...now that Mr Jackson is gone its a prison. No food, no drink, restrictions on pants... yes pants, not shorts, detention for having a hat on during lunch, 9 absences you go to riverside. If your tardy you get a detention. Girls purses cant be bigger than a 3 ringed binder... How many girls do u know carry a purse smaller than that? Close Quote
