North Atlanta High School Reviews
Rating 3.58 out of 5 566 reviews
North Atlanta High School has provided me with rigorous courses in the form of IB, AP, and honors classes. As well as given me the opportunity to find a community through extracurriculars like Cross Country and Track and Field. There are a number of Honor Societies that provide opportunities for students to participate further in outside experiences through community service. The school has provided materials to further the success of students in the way of academic opportunities of work-based learning as well as technology like computers and iPads to ensure each student can research and be successful. The IB program at the school is exceptional with options for the CP and DP program that offers students varying levels of rigour. While there are some negative experiences with teachers generally they have the student's best interests and present challenges providing excellent education.
Being a student here for 3 years as I transferred from Dunwoody High School, I've had an elevated experience in comparison. Being right in the middle of Buckhead, this school has shown me what true diversity looks like. The student body comes from various backgrounds and there is a strong sense of community. Parents are often involved and it's a surprise to learn which students are connected to which adult. Coming from Dunwoody, taking regular classes, I didn't expect a significant change however, entering North Atlanta, I was immediately put into IB and AP courses. I did not ask to be in these classes but the counselors at this school recognize potential and accurately so as I've been successful in each course. NAHS emphasizes college preparation, and the only downside is the stress that can be associated with this. I'd like to see change with the infrastructure and resources available. There is also a Wi-Fi issue that has been lingering for years beyond my attendance.
North Atlanta High School has been a pretious place to further my academic career over the past four years. The school has offered me an incredible academic pathway along with an extremley diverse social enviorment. The extracurriculars and clubs allow for all ages and peoples to come together and create a connection with one another. That being said, North Atlanta has been a second home to me over the past four years and would not want to have gone anywhere else.
