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.

Norris is overall a good school. I had some troubles getting help from my counselor in the 2nd semester of my senior year with a class. I had to reach out to other students for help. The administration was very helpful, and the school to career counselor helped prepare me to enter college.

Norris High School has an amazing campus, filled with opportunities for all students. The teachers, coaches, and administration care about each student, and continue to find ways to encourage and challenge students.

A good portion of the staff also graduated from that school and have effectively continued this “click” culture with their own children now attending the school. It would be nice to see more diversi...

My experience at this school was fantastic. I learned a lot about school, people, and life. I never had issues with other students, teachers, or other faculty because everyone there is wonderful.
