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.

This school is very interesting. Overall academics is acceptable; majority of teachers are easy to work with and fair. As a band student I believe the music and arts division doesn't get much recognition or finance. The school lunch isn't very accommodating especially as a vegan.

Norview is very dirty. The students can often be disrespectful or outright racist/misogynistic. Most of the students vape or smoke weed, many fights happen daily, and the staff doesn't really care, especially the academic advisors/councilors.

Norview isn't the worst school in my personal opinion. The efforts some teachers have to try and create a better environment, it is seen. Some issues with the school would be the constant yelling at students and blockades from bathroom use. But Norview is quite a clean school and the administration seems to try their best even if it's a bit shakey. A fair warning though is there seems to be some kind of racism when it comes to parents with accents in the main office.

The school itself has major issues. The good teachers are bullied by the administration, they admitted a new principal who was never at the school and would never help solve issues. They have no interest in students and mostly just push them out to graduate, no matter how badly the student is in sch...
