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 my high school. The student body has a great attitude and everyone is there for each other. The faculty is great and are always ready to help students who are struggling.

I enjoyed the environment Northern High School has created. If I could change something about Northern it would be how much they prepare their students for the future. It would be helpful to learn more about things such as taxes, mortgages, stocks, career options, and personal finances

This school is an avergae school for academics and sports and is probably great if you fit the mold of Straight, white, evangelical, conservative. No inclusivity or tolerance. Dangerous and politically charged school board being guided in part by a christian nationalist law firm, ILC.
