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.

I love that the teachers are committed to helping students with any problems that they have. The teachers at North Cedar are a safe place for any problems. North Cedars sports and other clubs are fun to be in.

North Cedar has very great teachers that help you succeed in your future. They are great mentors and help you threw tough times. The only thing that North Cedar could do to make the school better would be updating the school with new books.

I liked how my teachers helped me throughout my high school career. The academics are average in my opinion. Diversity I would say is poor at my school. Teachers I rate excellent. College readiness I would say is a rating of average.
