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.

My experience with Wheaton North was fantastic! They care so much about their students and are very invested in getting them through high school with a clear understanding of what lies ahead in terms of college or just life as a whole. I am very thankful for the lessons that I learned there and the bonds that I was able to make.

Great school! We moved from the city and are extremely happy with the education the school provides.
