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.

my experience at north point high school is been what I would say above average but not by much when it comes to teachers. As I generally took majority AP's which means I got to learn under the better teachers at the school. but the community if you so chose is great as the school allows students opportunities to create clubs during our free period. I personally have helped found 2 clubs at north point and these clubs alows student to come together and help each other out.

The counselor I have communicated with is less than I expect, but luckily I have only had a few experiences in four years. The teachers do very well pre...
