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.

When people say high school would move fast, it does. I mean i'm applying for a scholarship right now! it's crazy. I'm blessed to have my education and yeah sometimes I don't want to go to school I'm to tired or board but I always think about how I get these opportunity's and that's motivation enough. Walled lake Northern is my second home. Sure you can get a bad teacher here and there but for the most part I enjoy all of my teacher's! I've talked to several other students that attend schools around the area and they are also suprised to hear how many AP classes are offered at our school. I never realized how prepared and full of opportunity's my school is compared to other's which makes me so much more appreciate.

It has been a very nice experience with the parents and students. I don't get to interact with the teachers and staff much. The sports could use a little help with support. And more information for college prep would be great for parents

It's a great school, great services for IEP kids. Nice building, feels more like a community college campus rather than a high school building. Academically speaking the teachers are helpful in preparing students for education beyond high school.

Having relocated to southeastern MI a few years ago and having chosen Walled Lake schools based on overall ratings I'm glad I did! Northern has been a blessing and both of my children have gone from being low C students to high B/low A all due to the staff. It's amazing what focused teachers and kid...

Very surprised to read all the negative ratings. We moved into the school district recently. We attended a principal breakfast. He was very clear and expected results from his teachers and students in a positive light. The staff have been very helpful and the school is organized (we have attended se...

Do not have your student attend here run fast from this school, the students and their parents have no rights if they file a complaint against school, school and district won't even discuss in person problems that happen. Principle and administration blows you off, your student is only a dollar sign...
