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.

North Tech is a good school if you need a backup plan if college does not work out. You gain real-world experience in vocational skills, and most shops give certifications that put you above other applicants. The environment within each shop is lovely. You go to school daily knowing you have a family within the building.

I feel at ease when I enter the North Tech school building. They do a great job of making people feel safe and supported. If I could've went there for 4 years, I would've. I recommend this school to everyone with a dream for a better future.

North Technical is one of best school ever attended. I learned so much and they made me feel as I was part of family. I got so many opportunities from attending this school. I was inspired to open my own business and become my own boss. I am now currently starting my own online business for clothing and skin care which wouldn't be possible without North Tech support. Although I graduated I still check in with my teachers and they continue to help me in anyway possible. I genuinely appreciate everything they have done for me. Anyone who attends this school I'd destined for greatness. I guarantee it.
