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 had a good experience at NCUHS, but I thought it was an average experience. I went to class, went to lunch, and went home; nothing extraordinary to report. The career center is an amazing opportunity for students to graduate with college credits, licensures for different things, and even certificates.
