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.

There are many great things about Norview HIgh Shcool. Many great things can be said, but also, at the same time, many bad thinks can be said. Food is terrible, I do not like a few of the administrative staff. There is a lot of criminal behavior, especially in the bathrooms. However they offer good AP classes, the sports teams and clubs are great, and the specialty program community is awesome.

Norview High school is a pretty good school we have good administrators and teaches here. They all treat students fairly now. Back then they didn't care as much but it took time to make a change at the school.

My experience at Norview High has been good. I would say the best parts of Norview are the teachers who do care and show actual feelings towards kids and not just look at it as a teacher to student relationship but also as a human to human relationship. That really over powers the bad. It's not really much negativity from the school directly but more from the students and very little of the staff.

They have no interest in students and mostly just push them out to graduate, no matter how badly the student is in sch...
