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.

Mostly great classes and teachers. Good number of AP classes offered. Communication from the school and district are also very good with weekly newsletters. Language courses are not good, but that is likely due to the state curriculum as I heard similar complaints from friends in other districts.

Overall, my experience with Natick High School has been average at best. Most of the teachers fail to actually teach material and courses taught by multiple teachers seem to have different difficulties depending on which teacher you get, which seems unfair to me. P.E. makeups happen every Thursday, so if I'm out sick for more days than there are Thursdays left in the term, my grade will suffer. There is far too much luck that goes into succeeding here.

Overall, it is not an awful school but a lot of work needs to be put in for it to get better.

Although she complained while in school, NHS prepared my oldest very well for college, where she had great success. Once she had the chance to meet and work with kids from other communities, she realized that NHS gave her many advantages and skills that other students didn’t get from their schools....

Two of my children have attended Natick High and both have fallen apart academically and socially. One has multiple disabilities (which were not recognized nor fully addressed until Junior year) and the other is a bright and driven student. The bright child struggles in the classroom due to the disr...
