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.

Theres a lot that can be done to change the atmosphere at Nova High, and improve it than what it is right now. I would say that they do provide a lot of resources, the problem is finding and using them, as it can be made difficult at times, whether it be due to the adminstrators or the process itself. They could improve the quality of school life itself.

This school has a lot of diversity and cultural celebrations/clubs. It also has Cambridge and AP classes and counselors who help with college readiness (many resources for students). Campus safety and cleanliness must improve.

I have been a Nova student since 6th grade. I have enjoyed my time in Nova and will be quite sad when I am gone. The teachers can be so nice and you actually get to know them. The food and sports aren't bad. I would recommend Nova to parents, yes I may be tricky to get into but it is well worth it. Mr. Whitehorn is by far my favorite teacher in Nova and I would recommend every student to have him. He will prepare you for the real world. I have made amazing friends at Nova and I feel I will stay friends with them for years to come. Nova is a great school.

At the beginning I was very happy for my kids to attend nova. I had heard so many great things from other people. All the elementary at Eisenhower, it was great but when she reached 6th grade, it was totally different. I feel like my child is attending a regular public school. This is my first time...

A school littered with simple minded and out of touch bone heads, with the one thought of becoming wannabe sport stars. This school is nothing more than a recycled wasteland and is ready to fall apart all of the way through to it's core. This school looks like the after math of a Bubonic plague that...
