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.

northern has been a journey and I am proud to be closing this chapter very soon. I have enjoyed some of my time there, but my overall experience was not so great.

My child is a freshman. So far we have had a great experience. He is in honors classes. He has never loved school, but so far has found his classes and teachers to be more interesting and engaging than in year's past. He hasn't ever expressed concern about safety.

Hope the new principle looks to help students who have minor discipline infractions like vaping versus handing over to County police as this only hurts the students in the long run. I have two high schoolers and one opted to drop...
