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 Shore Middle School was amazing ! The teachers were amazing and very sweet . The principal was very involved with the school, as well as the students . The athletic department of the school was very good . The coaches are very determined to get their students on the road to success . The choir teachers are very sweet and work very hard so the students know everything they can about music . However the food is average and the lunch lines are too long . Other than that North Shore Middle School is an amazing school .

school is no longer like we have to learn anymore. It feels like the teachers dont care anymore and they want us to pass and leave. Some teachers do help and try to help[ us understand but majority dosent.
