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 moved to Natick High from Scotland half way through my freshman year. It was a hard transition but the friendly faces and the welcoming smiles made it all that bit easier. All the students and teachers have been so welcoming and I feel more comfortable and a better sense of belonging everyday. I would like if in school we learned a bit more about other cultures from around the world. The school has such a big diversity of students from all over the world and I would like to learn more about their cultures and for people to also understand more about mine. I feel this would really benefit everyone's learning and increase their understanding for other people.

The people suck and the administration is not effective in making students feel welcomed and accepted.

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...
