While North High outperforms the other high schools in the Appleton Area School District, such as East High and West High, in terms of academic performance and graduation rates, some nearby charter schools, like Renaissance School and Little Chute Career Pathways Academy, have even stronger academic performance and higher graduation rates. Additionally, North High faces challenges in addressing equity and inclusion, as the performance gaps between different student subgroups, particularly for Asian, African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status students, indicate the need for more targeted interventions and support.
