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.

I will be leaving here shortly and graduating from North Creek. I have mixed experiences with this school. Some of the teachers are fantastic people genuinely vested in their students success; while others are horrible people and abusive. "Maria Nelson" math teacher omg avoid her like the plague. This teacher was unhelpful self involved and talked about herself her kids/step kids and their academics and where they live what they are doing on and on. my experience with this teacher was not good. I genuinely believe she is not good or interested in teaching. I considered leaving the school mid year while in her class. The school was cleaner in my freshman year but isn't kept clean now the walls and windows doors all dirty and banged up. North creek school food is NOT good either.Counsellors are okay but be careful to investigate and ensure you are getting the right advice about transferring credits and timelines because they don't really care if you have enough to transfer graduate.

North Creek High School is a fairly new state of the art school with modern architecture and incredible diversity. The teachers and other staff members are extremely kind and helpful, always putting the students education first. Throughout my time at North Creek I have felt a part of a larger community, knowing that I had many people around that I could rely on to keep me safe and optimistic for the future.

I would say it was a solid high school experience. As someone who doesn't participate in sports, I noticed a difference in how much money/attention was going to sports, and not the arts or any other extracurriculars. Overall, it was a good high school experience coming from a recent Alum.

Both my kids go to North Creek HS. One is very artistic/creative/social, but academically mediocre. The other is highly capable (triple jump maths) but extremely introverted. They both LOVE the school and feel comfortable being around ALL the teachers and classmates. This is a great school for every...
