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 favorite experiences at North have been with the excellent teachers. As a member of performing arts and athletics many of my teachers have been accommodating and had genuine interest about athletics and wanted to develop relationships with students to help them grow as people

The experience wasn't bad but could be better. I like how they try their best to get you ready for college especially. As an athlete, i wish we could do better with coaching and facilities.

It has had its ups and downs but I truly believe that this is one of the best schools there is. The support here is outstanding and the possibilities are endless. You can pretty much do whatever you desire, They will provide the class and help you get to the point you want to be at. At one point I was struggling at the school but my teacher and counselor helped me in every way I could. I couldn't be more grateful.
