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.

It has been pretty good as a student of NMHS because the school has lots of opportunities for students to excel. The school offers extracurriculars and they also have a very good teaching program.

Most of the teachers do their hardest to teach the material and are expecting you to succeed. Our school has numerous student clubs to try to get students evolved. Our Athletic Department Advisor is great and does her best to keep kids motivated and encourages student to be both athletes and scholars.
