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 High School is a good place to be for safety, academics and support. Athletics were not performed well however the art and music department are very good.

I've had my ups and downs with Waukesha North over the past 4 years. I've made some great connections with the teachers and some of the other students. The administration and counselors have been a slight struggle to work with and the building itself is very small and confined. Overall I'd give Waukesha North an average rating.

I liked my teachers and the layout of the school, which makes things easier to find. I really liked being able to carry backpacks, since lockers are not near many classrooms. I think the variety of classes was good, but could be better. There are a lot of health career focused classes that are not available at our school, but are in another school in the district.

North offers strong leadership to ensure academic readiness for the future. There is also a strong rec program matched with great coaches who really care.
