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.

I overall really enjoyed my time here. There are a lot of positive interactions between students, both between each other and with teachers. The food is also great too.

I just graduated from Northview High School last year. I'm very proud to say that I was a part of the wildcat community. Northview was a great school to help with my education. Northview has a great community filled with many kind and well spoken people. It was a really easy transition when I transferred in 7th grade. My time at Northview was awesome and was filled with many great memories. I always felt safe when I was at school thanks to our security officers. I never had any problems with the teachers either. Northview will always have a special place in my heart.

Personally, my Northview experience has been great. Administration is so caring about every student, they truly want you to succeed, and push you to do your best. There is a large range of activities to get involved in which helps build community. I don't have any complaints.

I experienced NHS for myself, and man was it a breeze. I hardy ever felt challenged, and therefore, I felt like i didn't grow much mentally in my teenage years. I'm wondering who labeled this school a blue ribbon school. It's easy to get caught up in drinking and drug abuse. At NHS, not only is it n...

This school has given me the stepping stones in moving on. I am now in a BS program in medical lab science from Grand Valley State University and i couldn't have done it without the skill set honed by the teachers and staff there. I have went through tough times when i was in school and the staff th...
