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.

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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

North Mesquite High School is a very well put together school. I have professors who actually care about teaching content to the students for their success rather than just for the pay check. They push you to become a better scholar and to retain the information being taught instead of just memorizing it. All staff and students are super friendly and make high school life easier. Although there are a few things that come to my mind when I think of change. Mostly accepting the different cultures and being able to show and take pride in them sportingly. We have a very diverse population here at North Mesquite and I know that the students would appreciate it if the school would show some more support towards their cultures.

My overall experience with North Mesquite high school has been very well. I have never had any issues about bullying. I love my friends i have made from attending this school. The connections with teachers I have of them being understanding is very common.

There are also only a total of about 5 teachers in the entire school that are supportive and understand...
