Naperville North High School

Posted January 17, 2009

This is a good high school with a talented faculty, a large number of whom have advanced degrees. It suffers though from a sense of complacency that prevents it from achieving its true potential. Many parents report that one of their children did well here while the other did not. As a parent, I had four through the school for all four years. The two that did the best seized upon the relationships with higher quality faculty and excelled. The two who struggled did not find enough support or adaptability to meet their needs.

Naperville North is an above average school. I am a student there. There are strong points yet there are also many faults. The strengths of this school include high rigor courses for the top students. However, besides that, everything else is average or below average. The normal courses are a joke. They need to have more difficulty. In addition, Naperville North is the ONLY high school in Naperville with a dance policy still. That is one of the most ridiculous and absurd policies at Naperville North. Overall, Naperville North is an above average school.

From the perspective of a person who actually attends the school, Naperville North is completely OVERRATED. The teaching is mediocre, the regular level classes are a joke, and the administration is sickening. Unless you get in trouble constantly, the deans overtly disrespect you and overuse their powers. However, when a problem occurs, the deans do not take action or take fault when approriate. My personal advice if you are considering Naperville North as the school for your children is not to waste your time and money on a school whose sole purpose is to make money. They could care less about the students or our opinions about the educational environment. For all the money it receives and hype it gets, Naperville North is falling drastically short of its expectations.

NNHS is an excellent school. We have one graduate and one currently attending. The class of 2008 produced graduates that have gone on to elite universities across the country. There are young people from the class of 2008 who attend MIT. NNHS students will have an incredible experience, if they make the effort. Because of its size, there are opportunities for everyone. If a student wishes to remain anonymous, out of the limelight or, uninvolved, no one will push them to the contrary. If the student makes the effort, the student will be successful. Faculty and administration is extremely interested in holistic develpoment of the student as a person, not just an athlete or academic.
