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.

Over all North Quincy is a decent high school, not too much to complain about, however, there could be more diversity and better food.

It was like a typical school with a lot of diversity. Most of the teachers were extremely kind but not a lot of school spirit.

I am in a program within my school for students with social and emotional concerns. There are counselors on hand and ways to learn to cope with anxiety issues. It's so awesome that my highschool offers this.

The teachers I had were nice and taught me a lot, but there were also some teachers that weren't that good but overall, my teachers were great and so was the environment.

My daughter graduated from NQHS in 2010. As with most every school, if you work hard you will be provided with the support to excel! The results of the MCAS will reflect that the school is a high performer, and performs very well in Science. There is great access to a broad range of AP classes. Ever...
