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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

This school is honestly one of the best schools. They offer some really good classes, especially some that are college-level like Calculus AB, Calculus BC and English 1A-1B. I have had great experiences with the staff here at the school like my teachers, my counselor, and even the principal. They all thrive on trying to get all their students to graduate and do what they aspire to do. I haven't really had any bad experiences with the school itself, just the students who don't really want to be there.

North Salinas is a great place. Even though it has its own unique history. The campus is a little old and has some things that might need some renovation. Overall the campus has a great administration that keeps it safe and a great place.

As my Sophomore year at North Salinas High comes to an end I've had the time to reflect on my time here. All of my teachers have been polite and some even made an impact on my life. When I have trouble with assignments I have no problem asking for help. My teachers make me feel safe and supported. At one point of my life I began dealing with my own problems which took a toll on my grades. My English teacher at the time had noticed my stress and offered to send me to our schools Wellness Center. Here I was offered a number of resources that certainly helped me get through my stress. We also have many clubs that help students express their true selves or simply have fun. Such as the Thespian Club. I joined my Freshman year and I don't play on leaving. I've been able to build friendships and gain new knowledge all while being able to perform for our school and earn money for future projects. NSHS is definitely a great place for me to be in.
They never stock up on the vending machines and i am starving for a snack in class and we do not even have access to food while we are in class which is sick and twisted.
Not a positive one at all. Alot of parents, including myself are not treated as being part of a community working together to help all students succeed.
