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.

The best part of my school is its culture. Having crazy traditions and fun new activities seeing everyone participate in is a top tier feeling. It's also really cool to see how the teachers and students connect and interact. Teachers and staff being so willing to work with you and understanding is by far the best part of Northglenn High school.

I really love some of the teachers and the opportunities but there's some dismissal of sexist boys at school and most of the science teachers suck the passion out of science through their lack of love for the subject.

My high school experience has been ok. There have been some really bad teachers and some really bad learning experiences but I have been able to find teachers I feel safe to talk to as well.

All my siblings went to Northglenn and had a fantastic experience. The academics are very well taught by great teacher who take their time to help a student if the need them.
