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.

North Chicago Community High School has implemented a Dress code on student targeting only female students. This dress code does not allow students to feel accepted in school by judging students because of what they wear. it discourages students, not allowing them to have the confidence to wear what they want .

I is a good school and it is not as bad as people make it seem to be. It has many hard working students, enrolling in AP and honor classes and have many dedicated staff that are willing to work with students.

Over my four years of high school at North Chicago, I have had a lot of fun and learned so much. I have grew as a person and a student. The only thing I would change about the school are the funds they can afford.

The Special Education teacher who teaches the life skills classroom should not be working with kids with disabilities she tried to make my son out to be a troublemaker. Eventually my son had to be moved to a different school where is now thriving with absolutely no problems from his new teacher.

Students are very ridiculous, and teachers do not care. My sons graduation made me so uncomfortable. From young men throwing up gang signs to flashing money. Makes me really understand the stereotypes of Chicago!

Some staff tend to take advantage of families for their own gain. My son teacher is trying to make him look crazy and tries to send him home when he does not want to deal with him.
