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.

Overall this is a wonderful school. I definitely fee as though there could be better safety measures in place, but for the most part the administration is great. The teachers here are all so wonderful for the most part. I do wish that the art and music programs could provide more for all students.

My experience at Northgate high school was a positive one. I enjoyed school, had great friend, and was always supported by faculty who not only helped me with coursework but also shared my interest. There was always someone willing to assist when I faced challenges, making my time there both engaging and encouraging.
