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 Torrance high school is a great school because it has a great school district. The teachers are phenomenal educators that are genuinely there for the students. I decided to come out of the closet at the age of 12 and was never bullied. Overall it's a school where I would want my own kids to attend.
