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 it is an okay school. The classes are pretty good, interactive, and give a good amount of work. I get homework and they help you figure out what you are missing.

North Quincy is a great school. The teachers and admin there are great and always ready to help, but there are also some bad parts to it as well. North is an older school, so much of the equipment is on the older side, but the admin will always try to get newer stuff for the students. The diversity here is also great.

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.

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...
