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 loved almost everything about North- the environment is great and it really seems like everyone is there to support you. The best part is that you can really impact your experience based on what you join and how involved you get. Most of the teachers are really good and care, but as expected, not all of them.

Naperville North High School stands out from any other high school. Other than the amazing faculty, people, various resources, opportunities, and abundant extracurriculars, NNHS strives to be better each day. Teachers and administration constantly ask for feedback, prioritizing students' needs over their own.

While the education side of the school is wonderful, the administration could use some work. Many students struggle with harassment almost daily, yet the school does next to nothing about it.

As a special needs parent they don’t have the funding to follow an IEP. They pay so low that they don’t have para professionals in place. Shame on you 203. If this was AP or athletics department you will be all over it too keep your place as a great school
