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.

I personally love going to North Cobb. Most of my issues are more issues with the student body rather than anything else. Diversity is lacking and now "funny" racist remarks are common. However, teachers are lovely, the facilities are clean and tidy, and the curriculum is challenging and enjoyable.

My experience wasn't the best but it also wasn't the worst. I joined Track and Field and committed to other clubs and acts of service as well. The teachers and some administration could be better because a few would tear me down and try to discourage me.

My experience has been average. Enjoyed my time at the school and didn't have any social issues and was able to participate in some sports activities and joined student volunteer groups to help incoming freshman.

This school is probably the worst high school in Cobb County. The administration and counseling offices. Do not care about your child’s well-being. No one at North Cobb returns phone calls or parent concerns at all especially the counseling office and administration.. do yourself a favor stay far aw...

As a senior at this school, I have seemed to do alright here. Bumpy road for sure, but overall a solid experience.

Low! The staff are rude . Teachers seem to hit or miss. If it wasn’t for my child I’d move from this school system.
