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.

My experience at Norview High has been good. I would say the best parts of Norview are the teachers who do care and show actual feelings towards kids and not just look at it as a teacher to student relationship but also as a human to human relationship. That really over powers the bad. It's not really much negativity from the school directly but more from the students and very little of the staff.

I have enjoyed Norview high school for the most part, but as for all high schools there are some faults. There are fights very often here and I do feel particularly safe. I do feel as if my safety concerns have decreased due to the use of metal detectors. Other than that, I like my school and have plenty of stories to tell from it.

I don't have a lot of experience as I have just started at this school. However, based off of my experience so far, I would say that this school is pretty nice. It has a weird culture, but overall I enjoy it here.
