GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

At Appleton North I have had a great experience however, I can't tell the whole story. I am there for the first half of the day and the second half in the Fox Cities Leadership Wing with everyone else in the charter school, Fox Cities Leadership Academy. During my time at Appleton North, I have always felt the same, but I am sure that is not for everyone, there have been lots of fights within our school, and where is the officer? In FCLA there haven't been any fights, in fact, all of us have a tight bond that makes our learning environment more enjoyable.

There isn't much school spirit but I feel that the current Principal will have the school back to its glory days in no time.

A large selection of advanced classes. However, promotes a culture where football is superior and places athletes on a pedestal.

Appleton North focuses too much on unrealistic academic achievement. Need to submit your class rank to colleges? It's a shame that you attended Appleton North. If you do not have a 4.0 GPA you are already dropped to below 60% of your class rank, a 3.5 and you're under 50%. Appleton North feels like...
