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.

Natick High School is a diverse community that is open and welcoming to everyone. The teachers are great and work with students on making sure they are doing their work and helping with resource if needed. I had a successful 4 years at NHS and loved my time there. My career path is education and my counselor made sure I got into the correct classes that would be beneficial to me and my future. I loved attending Natick high school.

I would like to see more diversity in the school. The problem is that Natick is a very rich town, so there are only rich people that go there. The staff is generally nice and hardworking. Some teachers are accommodating but the school is not the best at supporting students with IEPs. The classes can be very demanding and rigorous. Natick High does take education very seriously.

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...
