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.

As a senior my high school experience was good. I made lots of friends and met some really cool teachers and staff member. Overall the staff cares about the school a lot. I like the involvement and outreach that there is on campus and we have lots of resources like the career center which helps with anything college and job related.

The Best part of north high is how beautiful the campus is. The worst parts are the are racist teachers, gang activity, and drug uses. I would like for the environment at north too change. Then this would be 10/10 experience. But most of the staff is so caring and are really helpful.
