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.

The teachers and students here are very smart and friendly. The clubs here are great with the Key Club and STUCO winning state level awards. The school also takes safety very seriously.

I originally came to North Garland due to following in my brother's pathway; however, I ended up loving North Garland. The teachers are extremely respectful. I also really love my school's spirit. I believe my school also has a large diversity. I used to be ashamed of my culture because I grew up in an all white school; however, when I came to North Garland I learned to love it.

Prejudice leadership favoring the ones who look like them. Definitely not a place for African American students unless you want your children to be treated differently.
