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.

I am currently a high school student at North Branch. I have always been at this district since elementary, and overall have had a positive experience. This year I am a senior and am also enrolled in an early college program. I feel as if my high school is not properly preparing students for after high school. A lot of are students who are adequately prepared for after high school go to an alternative ed tech program that allows them to take college classes or prepare them for the work force.

I've had a great experience at northbranch since 3rd grade when I came here. The school and staff is amazing and they've helped me through more than they were payed for. Northbranch is a very home like community in every way possible and it really shows in the schools. There is amazing opportunity's for sports, clubs, activities, and more. I personally haven't seen anything that needs to change in the schooling or the community itself.

NBAS also has a supportive and detailed special education program for those students w...

There is a lot of bullying in this school, but there is in every school. The people in charge really don't do anything except give the kids a "slap on the hand" and a stern don't do it again and send them on their way.

I attended North Branch Area Schools for my whole life until my senior year when my sister and I moved to Warren. Before we moved i thought that NBHS was not the best because of the slight favoritism they show towards volleyball players, but after attending Cousino High School where if you are a foo...
