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.

This high school is in the process of changing current issues. They are already good at sports, show choir, fine arts but lack in student spirit. The new administration is proactively working on schools' spirit, parent involvement and student participation.

My experience at Northrop was overall very positive. I made a lot of great friends and had great experiences with my teachers. The school was very diverse so I got to learn about so many cultures, backgrounds, and living situations just from observing my peers. I feel as if it really prepared me for post-grad life.

I would say my experience with Northrop High school was different, coming to the when I was freshman but being online the actually see the school my sophomore year of high school. I loved my sophomore year, i actually got to experience what I was missing but after that the year continued to go down, my junior year I became very depressed with the environment but my senior was kinda better but only because it was my senior year. I would say make yourself have fun, do different sports and social events and actually be have fun.
