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.

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.

I've had a very good experience at Norton high school. The teachers I've had have been very hands-on and helpful, always willing to help if I have a question. There is very low diversity here and we don't have the most school spirit however during fall there is always excitement over football season.

I have had a pretty good experience at Norton High School. People usually say that high school was either the worst or best years of school. Personally I would say it was the best because I never felt anxious in high school when it came to just being there. I felt safe and knew that there was police protecting the building. The academics are pretty good too. I always felt like I could go to any teacher for help.

Norton High is your average small high school, not much diversity, plenty of cliques, and decent faculty.

This is one of the worst schools! Drugs, bullying, terrible education. Sports? hah. They're laughable. Teachers are a joke, the school is honestly one of the worst in the area. I'd send my kids to Attleboro High before sending them here if I was given the choice.

As a college admissions officer for a private college in Boston, I have seen a remarkable change in the quality of the students from Norton High School during that past 10 years. The scores are up and the students are very well prepared for our nationally ranked curriculum. The top students can writ...
