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.

I attended North for 3 years and since covid was present during my high school years, it made my experience a bit different . There's flaws in this school yes but for a school with many kids surprisingly it's not that bad.

I've mainly been in the JROTC program and the volleyball program. I like both, volleyball especially. The school has had some rough patches with safety though some of those issues come with being a city school. Most faculty are good and try to connect with students. However, there isn't much diversity among the teachers.

North High School was overall a great experience for me. North sometimes had trouble with the mitigation of their issues but overall the opportunities, faculty, experiences, and care that was felt by each member of the community is what I believe was necessary for my success as a student.
