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.

North Creek High school is a diverse school in which community is incredible important. I'm so much diversity sometimes it's hard to find a sense of belonging, but North Creek ensures that everyone has a place where they belong.

My experience at North Creek High school could have been way better. In my opinion, and a lot of others opinions, feel like a lot of the teachers do not respect the students. I felt more respected in middle school then here. I understand needing money to help the school, but I think $50 for a spring fling which included one bouncy house, music, and a really empty gym room with some small tables was not worth it. I also feel like NCHS is trying to look better on the outside, whereas the teachers here are not what they say they are. They do not respect their students. I have already had a teacher who gave me a worse grade than I got because she did not like me. I got 100% on almost all the tests, quizes, homeworks, etc. And my friend, who got less than me on most tests etc. has a higher grade than me. 106, while I have a 98. There is also way too many people. My schedule got changed 2 times because of new people coming in. Making me leave the friends I finally made after a semester.

The school cares about opinions from people outside the school instead of the students themselves. Depending on your teachers, you'll either like it here or hate it. The people here are questionable as well.

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...
