The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Appleton North High School was relatively good. There was nothing throughout my four years that stuck out as being awful. My best experiences came from the theatre department. I made so many amazing memories in theatre and the department as a whole was wonderful. From the incredible parent involvement to the support from our directors. I also loved that as students we were given the chance to take charge and build our leadership skills. Aside from theatre everything else about ANHS was great too. I always had teachers that wanted the best for their students and I knew I would have support if I ever needed it.
