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.

Nation Ford helped me realize my passion for graphic design. My design teacher was absolutely wonderful and she's helped me every step of the way to get to where I am today in my skill set.

Overall my high school experience at Nation Ford High School was extremely positive. The only change I would recommend is there policy on bathroom breaks as they do not allow sufficient time to rake care of personal matters when needed.

I enjoy my experience at NAFO I think the resources are absolutely amazing, this school isn't perfect it has ways to improve but this school creates well rounded students as long as they give effort. I'd like to see the cleanliness of the building increase, you can't control kids that are ignorant, but you can control the lunch tables that are just a bit sticky from lunch. I think that teachers at NAFO need to be reviewed better because some teachers i question why they were hired. The security of the school needs to be better. if someone wanted, they could bring a friend to school one day and hide them in the bathroom, that's how easy.

My daughter is a 2020 graduate, and entered college very well prepared despite the Covid lockdown. Excellent teachers, lots of class options, great arts and athletics, and a lot of AP opportunities. We were very pleased with her experience.

My family moved to this district per recommendations. I have found the teachers to be very supportive, helpful and genuinely caring.
