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 enjoyed being at the school. The teachers were nice and helped me whenever I needed it. The classes I like were English 12, algebra, and art. I felt safe at this school and I always can hang around with my friends. Sometimes at lunch they don't have the best food but there is somethings that I like are pizza, tacos, and chicken tenders. My experience at Northumberland is that they help you every step of the way.
