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.

Overall, I believe that Northwest Rankin High school is a fairly good high school and that it provides a good public school education. One major highlight of the school is the amount of resources offered on everything and the ability to connect with people to achieve stuff.

I enjoyed my 4 years at Northwest Rankin High School, I had several good teachers, alot of hands on training, It has allowed me to be better prepared for college. I would have loved to see more one on one with students who sometimes had challenges with the course work.
