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.

My experience with Noth County has been pretty okay throughout the years while attending the school. Some things were better than others, some teachers didn't know how to effectively communicate with students and some parents weren't the most involved in the school or club system.

some of the best parts about going to this school is that there are always some teachers that are ready to help with almost anything you need, and the school offers a lot of opportunities. Some of the worst this about this school is the fact that the bathrooms can't stay clean, when a teacher decides to leave it is really hard for the student to be able to learn with a fill-in sub and most of the rules the school makes to stop students from continuing to do bad things end up affecting the students who don't cause problems the most.

There are fights every day. Faculty rarely tells parents about it but it's all over social media. The halls are so overcrowded kids often come to a full stop, despite COVID. There are some great teachers, but most don't care about the kids. They care about compliance. They don't nurture or pay atten...
