North Gaston High School

There are a small portion of African American teachers. Minority students are not treated fairly.Some teachers are not dedicated to teaching students and do not promptly follow up with parents regarding concerns. The administrators to include principal and assistant principals tends to take the teacher's side regarding a parent's concern not having fair judgment are taking in to consideration what's in the best interest of the student. Administrative Assistants are rude and unprofessional. I was there for a visit. The administrative assistants were having a conversation among themselves and did not acknowledge me until five minutes later. Guidance Counselors are difficult to reach and do not seem to be actively engaged with the student or parent's regarding concerns. I would not recommend this school. It is one of the worst High Schools in Gaston County School systems.

It is a lovely school. All the teachers are nice. I haven't seen a lot of bullying.

Overall great school. Has lot of caring teachers that do more than they have to do. My child has Autism so I believe for the most part he gets an equal opportunity to learn and do the things all the other children get to do. Most staff are caring and want my child to be successful.

In response to the review on June 13, 2010...North Gaston and Mr. Boone must be doing something right. They are a school of distinction this year. My son is a senior and has always had teachers willing to work with him, and an administrative staff that has always looked out for his best interest. I hope that North Gaston continues to affect hundreds of students this year as they have done in the past, with a teaching staff that continues to challenge students to do their best in a caring, nurturing environment.
