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 Harford High School is the definition of a small town high school experience. It provides a decent education with relatively small class sizes and a lack of diversity among teachers and students. Overall North Harford is not especially good or bad.

North Harford High is a very welcoming school with many activities that you can partake in. They also offer an opportunity to work with many kinds of animals and plants.

I have been going here since my sophomore year and some of the teachers are incredibly nice but their was one teacher I had my junior year and he made comments that were not appropriate for the classroom and me as well as many other students reported him to administration but nothing seemed to change.
