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.

A good school, it's been a while since I promoted from that school back in 2014. During the time I went to NNC, everyone was involved, the principal was actively engaged with the students and activities. There were a couple of fights, but nothing too serious. Overall nice school, I would go back and relive my middle school years.

I would like to school to be more strict in their dress code. They say they are strict but they do not in force their policy.

Administration and policies are strongly applied to this school. Administration makes sure to get rid of any distruptive kids in a class and makes sure we are following the rules.

I was very apprehensive about sending my child to NNC. I tried to have him transferred but the "best" middle school in the PSUSD is over crowded and the other middle schools have a worse score than NNC. Well, my child has attended NNC two years now and I don't have any complaints. There are plenty o...
