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 time at TF North was a time to remember. I've met so many people who helped me get through school and the teacher are supportive. I can say without the people and ties that I made at North I wouldn't be the person I am today.

I have gone to this school throughout my whole high school experience. The teachers I have had have all helped me out in the classroom. Some teachers also go as far as helping you personally.
