John W. North High

John W. North High sits in one of Riverside's older, more established neighborhoods, offering families a traditional high school experience in a district with deep roots in the Inland Empire. The school serves a diverse student body, and while its academic scores land in the middle of the pack statewide, it has the feel of a community anchor — the kind of school where students have real opportunities to get involved and find their footing. Riverside itself is a city with a lot going on: a walkable downtown, UC Riverside nearby, and a strong sense of local identity that families who value authentic community over suburban polish tend to appreciate.
