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.

Though I've had a lot of rough times throughout high school, North was a great experience. I met a lot of great people, and even though we didn't have a great football team, our band won state every year for quite a while.

The marching band basically held the school together. Quite a few students were involved in band, even more than kids in football. We had some clubs, but none had funding from the school, that was up to the student really. We just didn't have a lot of groups that really interested people.

I graduated in 1984. Our son went there in 2014 and the ipads ruined his experience. Boys get sidetracked easily, and when the kids are allowed to play games in Algebra class they usually don't succeed. Colleges weren't pushed on the students. Our son left North after his Sophmore year with a 2.45 G...
