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.

Overall my experience at North Henderson has been good. There has been some bumps in the road with transitioning going back from Covid and then family illness, but nothing I have not been able to over come. Being an athlete and football and wrestling it is definitely kept me occupied at focusing on my work in school. I have already applied and do know where I'm going to college. This extra scholarship will help me reach those goals and financial worries I have going into college.

I graduated from North Henderson High School in 2021. I spent half my time in person and online due to the pandemic. Regardless of the circumstances the faculty and staff showed a level of commitment to educating the student body and in showing care to the personal lives of each student. There is always room for improvement in any matter, but picking one particular aspect would undermine others. Overall my experience was positive, and not many negative things come to mind.

Very good educationally but a lot to be desired with sports programs. The teachers are excellent but many of the coaches act disinterested in the sports programs

I have 3 children that goes to North. I think its a great school.It is a big school but the teachers make your child feels like they are the only child there. And has a small town feel.I can go in and talk to any teacher at anytime if i want. Great school and would tell everyone to go there.
