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.

My experience at North has been a good one. I have met a lot of teachers who have played a positive part in my education. They have made learning interesting and even fun. My school offers a lot of clubs and activities and sports. I have been a cheerleader for 3 years and I love it. My school environment is sometimes crowded and fast paced but I wouldn't change anything. North is a school that students can excel in. Whether you're interested in drama club or football its a supportive school with wonderful staff and students.

I love the people I have created close bonds with. The diversity is truly remarkable and I never feel out of place. I will forever cherish the memories I have made with my fellow students of all grades, and the bonds I have made with a few teachers. Most of the teachers allow you to gain a great understanding of the topic and will help you one on one. There are multiple clubs and organizations to chose from so everyone can find their group.
