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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

I have really good experiences in my high school these past four years. I haven't gotten into trouble with administration or with a teacher which shows behavior is a major deal at this school. Administration does a good job dealing with issues throughout the school, and with issues with students and teachers. There is a little bit of wiggle room with rules but I would say that everyone does a pretty good job at following the rules and having a good high school experience.

The best part of my experience at Northfield High School has been the electives I've chosen to take. I am interested in business and accounting so i take a lot of business electives. All of the business teachers that I've had have been so knowledgeable and they've given me such good guidance. One of my worst experiences has been in sports. Sports at Northfield High School are very biased. If you don't have a history with the school or the sport you automatically get pushed behind everyone else. I would really like to see this change because there are so many students who have so much potential.
It seems unless you are star student or an athlete, you are lost in a mix. School is more focused on nonsense rather than teaching and my child has learned practically nothing. One of the band teachers tries to make students state their pronouns and actually said that she wanted to focus on composer...
