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 best part of my experience at Nova High School was my senior year. I had a lot of fun compared to my previous years. The worst part about the school is the constant fights and there's always something happening there.

My experience at nova has been pretty decent. I have had some great teachers and have learned a lot in my time there. They have a lot of clubs and extracurricular activities to choose from so it gives us students many things to choose from. The worst thing about the school is how late it ends. By the time all extracurricular activities and clubs are done it's already late in the day because school ends at 4:20.

I think my school is amazing academically. The teachers I've had actually taught and i learned a lot and I was prepared going into my senior year. But students don't get rewarded for their hard work. School spirit in my school is basically nonexistent. I go there everyday and even the teachers don't want to be there.

At the beginning I was very happy for my kids to attend nova. I had heard so many great things from other people. All the elementary at Eisenhower, it was great but when she reached 6th grade, it was totally different. I feel like my child is attending a regular public school. This is my first time...

A school littered with simple minded and out of touch bone heads, with the one thought of becoming wannabe sport stars. This school is nothing more than a recycled wasteland and is ready to fall apart all of the way through to it's core. This school looks like the after math of a Bubonic plague that...
