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.

North Mac High School has given me an abundance of opportunities that I will forever be grateful for. The staff are always willing to help the students succeed and do what they can to help the school a healthy and welcoming environment. As I leave my high school experiences behind, this school will forever hold a special place in my life.

There is a huge lack of resources within the school and the diversity is not there. I liked my teachers, but besides that there was not much about the school that I enjoyed.

The school in itself isn't horrible, but they need to buck up and fix the problems that are so evidently there. Instead of building a new building. Maybe buy new class books. For example, we have a social studies book from 2007. Sorry but things have changed, and so does this school.

I went to the school and there are only three teachers in the high school that seem to know how to really teach teenagers, Mr. Allen, Mr. Berkley, and Mrs. Orisek. They were the only teachers worth praise. All in all its not a horrible school but it's not the best. Oh and the art teacher ms. Leytem...

The students outrank those in surrounding districts in state test scores. There are lots of clubs and sports.
