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.

The school overall is bland. Some teachers try to give their students a good education, while others don't care.

Throughout my 4 years of high school, I have been able to witness myself grow in different forms, and the recourses that our school has helps us better find ourselves. My favorite parts were the sports games, and my band performances. Some of the not so great parts was definitely covid, and because of that many clubs and classes were discontinued so they did not include the variety they once provided. If and when I come back, I would love to see the school spirit rise, as that is something we lack as a community.

My overall experience at North Monterey High School is Good. The students are nice even tho some are annoying. The school has a lot of cool events. It also has good extracurricular activities like sports and clubs. Lastly, the staff there are nice and are inspiring. But, the thing I don't like is the food. Also that they don't offer much help when I struggle academically. But I can always look for help, I guess. I would like them to incorporate more life skills or problem solving skills.
