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.

The school itself was nice but my time there was not the best, the teachers were wonderful but other students made my time there nothing short of a nightmare, and the people with power did nothing to stop them, the food was nothing short of asking for stomach flu

North Branch is a rural school through and through. I watched and was subjected to lots of bullying with little to no action by administration. The academics themselves are fine and the range of after school activities is very nice. Lots of staff is genuinely great and care for the students but there is a good handful that have lost their passion. Overall great school unless you are queer, disabled, or a person of color.

North Branch High School is a friendly community and has a great staff. The teachers always check up on their students like they are their kids. But one thing I would like to change is having more electives for classes. I feel like there aren't many electives to choose from.

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...
