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 Point High School is an amazing high school. Personally, I feel like it is the best high school in Charles County. The CTE programs are very helpful for the students to prepare themselves for their future careers. The sports teams are very good. The teachers and administrators are very caring about the students and the community. I would recommend this school to anyone.

I believe that the only thing that should probably be changed is the expectation of us arriving to our classes within the 5 minutes they give us. Our school is pretty large and we have a population of 2000 kids. This creates a lot of foot traffic in the halls which makes it hard to get from outside to upstairs in 5 minutes. Some teachers are understanding of this but not all of them. This is the only issue I have with my school.

As a senior at this school I would like to say I've seen it all. The curriculum is where it should be and the teachers want the best for their students. I love North Point and I wouldn't have wanted to go anywhere else. The CTE programs are great and really prepare students for their future careers.

However, as a student the administration was less than stellar on communication and transparency with students, parents, and, from my knowledge, staff. The counselor department is less...

My experience at North Point High School is when I first met my new teachers during the first-year of my freshman year.

I have always had very good experiences with teachers when I requested information regarding my son's grade. The front office staff is outstanding. The counselor I have communicated with is less than I expect, but luckily I have only had a few experiences in four years. The teachers do very well pre...
