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've been apart of Northampton County High School since 2O15. I've played volleyball for the Jaguars of Northampton County High School since I was Freshman. Northampton County High School there is a safe and productive environment at times. The teachers there aren't as nice & friendly with with students, you have a few rude teachers & you have a few teachers that can easily bond with students. The staff & administrators at Northampton County High School are okay. I would recommend you coming to the view & check out my school & our sports academics.
