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.

This is an OK school. The lunch they serve is OK, though some of the prices are total ripoffs. Some teachers are excellent, and some are terrible, though the two advanced math teachers in 7th and 8th grade are really bad. The fact that they offer many different electives is good though. The worst thing is, many students aren't very smart and test really low. Overall, a meh school.

I was bullied most of the time and the faculty didn't do anything about it no matter how much I asked. A few teachers were nice but most have no idea how to teach. There is a huge drug problem there. I'm disappointed I stayed there for three years.

My daughter attended Northbrook Junior High (NBJH), she is now at Glenbrook High School. Compared with other junior high schools in the area, NBJH lagged significantly in culture, executive functions, and academic perspective. They didn’t prepare students for high school and living a productive life...
