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 would say, compared to my other school it's great here. There is some school violence, but it's honestly not that big of a deal. I am about to graduate here and I'm excited.

The best part of Northside is the community. It doesn't include everyone but here are a large majority of people who are kind to everyone and make the school feel like a family. The worst part is some of the communication inside the school. Somethings people struggle with advertising important events.

If y'all have to go to this school I FR feel bad for u. There's nothing to look forward to when coming to this school. First of all, you're not allowed to have your phones out AT ALL. Secondly the minute u walk in u already have to go to class. Lastly when it's time to go home they dismiss u by halls instead of js letting everyone go. Idk how to explain this school but you'll prob know what I mean if you gotta come here.

Jacksonville High was biased and taught me nothing but never trust adults. Northside actually gave me my high school life back.

Wonderful school and staff! We had a terrible experience at Richland's High when we moved here 2 1/2 years ago with a very incompetent staff. I did not want my daughter going through what my son did so we moved. Northside staff has gone above and beyond to make sure she would not only graduate on ti...
