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.

As a student at North Pole High school, I believe that it is a decent school. This school is engaging, relatively accessible, and has options for many students of all kinds, no matter: race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or even hobbies and sports.

It is a great school it has pushed me to better myself academically and physically. The teachers at the school are very helpful and love to teach us better and new ways to learn.

At North Pole High School, we are a smaller school but we do the best we can with what we have. The best part of the school is having a full STEM department in the school. Which gives us the opportunity to explore and try all of the fields that are in the stem world. The culinary classes allow our students to learn how to cook and bake by themselves. The worst part is that a lot of people just don't want to be here, I think that is normal for high school but there seems like there is a lot of them in North Pole High School.
