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.

Norwin Highschool is not a bad school all in all. The main problems with the education system is the math department. The math department does not have the best teachers, but they have a couple good ones especially the financial math teacher. The science department is amazing. You can really tell that they care about what they are teaching. The school food is really bad, but I've seen some improvements. In total I think norwin is a great place to send your children

Great curriculum and tons of activities. Lots of AP courses and college credit opportunities. Elective courses are very good. The law class even takes the kids to an actual court room during a trial! Just awesome.

Norwin teachers do not treat the kids well at all. They are very strict and they are so competitive. They want to win but sometimes that is too much. Norwin does have a great music program but you have to be willing to put in the effort.
