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.

We are an incredibly poor school. We have small classes and a limited amount of teachers. Throughout my high school career, we have been down at least one teacher. I do enjoy the small family that is created by having such a small school . I love how close we are, I also enjoy being able to go into a teacher's classroom and knowing they look at me as a person rather than just another student.

They have good lunch. The English teacher is very nice and helpful. When needing help with college work they are willing to help. If you want to dual enroll they move your schedule to allow you to. Most of the other teachers are also good at teaching and if you do not understand they will reteach it in a different way that we could possibly understand. We can go off campus and eat subway so they are helping us eat healthily. We are also able to go on our phones at lunch so then they arent in the way as much during class.

I was bullied all my life while in this school when you could and the administration didn't do anything about it. If you were not in with the "IN" crowd you did not get special treatment like they did.

Good but coaches need more respect for their players.

NCA has the best Michigan top to bottom scores among all the schools in the area. Academically, NCA's expectations are very high, and college as well as vocational success is the focus of curriculum and scheduling.
