North Reading High School Reviews

North Reading High School is an exceptional and positive learning environment. This school takes use of modern technology to create a 21st century learning environment. The resources provided by the school are superb and are always available to students at any time throughout the school day. The faculty and staff, working in the school, establish a welcoming ambience that students, families, parents, and the community can feel included and involved in. One aspect within the school that I would like to see changed is the amount of college readiness courses and programs offered. If the school were to offer more college readiness courses and programs, students will be more apt in a college learning environment. This is based off how the school currently offers zero college readiness courses. Overall, North Reading High School is a great school and an above average learning institution.

The teachers and class offerings are pretty varied and good. Lot's of test prep for MCAS etc. The new facility features shared core services, new high school and new middle school. The performing arts center ROCKS!
The teachers are pretty nice here at North Reading High. The school is new and clean, and well maintained. They focus on appearance, and everything in the school does indeed seem well. The food is edible, the curriculum is challenging but understandable, guidance and the teachers are always willing to help, and all the staff members are easygoing. There are no big problems, except accessibility issues for disabled individuals.
