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 I have enjoyed my time at North Andover High School. Most of the staff are great, however there are a few teachers who need to be reviewed. There is a variety of different sports, clubs, and activities that are available for students to join and there are lots of resources for those who need them.

I think overall my experience at North Andover High School has been fairly well so far keeping in mind other schools near my district but I still feel it could improve drastically. I think there are some teachers who truly want to see you succeed and help you improve but there are others that truly couldn't care about what happens to you, regarding your grade in the class. The amount of safety incidents in the school have made me feel some what unsafe walking into the building considering the amount of precautions taken everyday to protect us. I also feel sometimes staff and teachers at this school are very proactive and mindful of some things but not others, such as vaping in the bathroom. I understand we can't have 100 stalls on each floor of the building but when I desperately need to use the bathroom or I don't want to be 5 minutes late to class because of a group of girls vaping and smoking in the bathroom it's frustrating. Limiting the amount of people is not the solution to this

Grades are posted online so you track how well (or not) your student is doing. 95% of the teachers we've emailed have responded within an hour. There are a couple of teachers who are out of...

We move often and have been lucky to attend many good schools. This by far is the worst. The teachers have little understanding of listening skills and just process. Now they are taking long classes and making them longer. Adults cannot sit through an hour long meeting how can we expect children to...

My daughter is a sophmore at the North Andover High School. It wasn't until she hit high school that her academic life changed. She became motivated, energized and very successful. The first time I left a parent/teacher meeting, I left the school in tears about how lucky I am to have my kids go to t...
