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.

Overall my experience was good, nothing too bad. I enjoyed high school and the different activities. I loved TNT week and the rivalry that goes on there. Nothing happened that was the absolute worst except for covid online learning in high school, but I feel like we all experienced that. Something I would like to see change is administration listening to student more, and actually taking their opinions and ideas to thought.

My experience overall was pretty good. They offered many college classes that helped prepare me college. Teachers were willing to provide support to all students to allow them to be successful students and help prepare them for their future. I would like to see some more diversity in the school but it was starting to increase my last year of high school.

I've been in the district my whole life and i will say that i've had some really good teachers with really good connections, but the faculty are so rude. They would always be snarky and comment on things like my outfits or bathroom use. The food is also very bland, with no non meat choices besides pb&j. NTHS has a lot of good things like the close-knit sports teams and nostalgic traditions. Although i say i hate the school, i wouldn't go anywhere else.

This is by far one of the worst schools on earth! As a former parent, my husband and I think they need to make a different choice for head principal. That man is dismissive, condescending, and refuses to listen to the parents. He calls you in for a conference, so he can treat you like dirt. They pas...

I am a former student at NTHS and graduated in the class of 2022. I have very few nice things to say about this school. I was a special education student and it was such an awful experience. Most of the teachers were rude and not understanding at all. They treated us as if we didn’t understand anyth...
