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 chose to attend North Point because I was looking for an alternative to on-campus instruction and I'm so glad that I made that choice. All of the staff are incredibly supportive and helpful, the guidance counselor in particular. I've never had teachers be more encouraging and validating of my goals than my teachers at North Point and not to mention extremely helpful in providing the tools and plans that I need to reach them.

The staff is wonderful and really cares about the students. There's excellent support for the students and great flexibility in how the students can complete their work. There's a good student to teacher ratio that allows each student to get the attention they need for their studies to be successful...
