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 spent my entire 4 years of high school at north valley and it was a good high school. There could of been better things like more clubs and dual credit classes however the school still had AP classes. Biggest con of north valleys was it was packed, it was the most packed in all of WCSD having more than 200 students than other schools. This cause it to have no dual credit and less clubs junior and senior year. Best part was the teachers I was very connect to most of my teacher and they felt like mentors too because of our private conversation I learned more about life. I learned a lot and still enjoyed my high school days at north valleys, could of been less packed to be a greater school.

My experience at this school was if you looked black you would get suspended. These teachers would suspend anyone for anything
