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.

New Bern High school is great. It offers a lot of different opportunities to take advantage of your interests and community involvement. You can find a ton of new hobbies or topics to learn about, while also meeting like-minded people. Overall, the school is amazing when you get involved with the right groups of people and clubs. However, there is a lot of tension. The staff do their best to be involved with the students, but a lot of things still tend to happen behind closed doors.

NBHS has been a good experience. There are some teachers who love what they do and love the students. We have a close environment and are involved in the community.

It's discouraging when your child comes home and tells you the assistant principal told her not to worry about the conduct referrals she gets because she has a bad teacher, especially when your daughter is learning and likes the teacher. I'm also not very happy that teachers have all but given up ho...

I have one graduate and two currently enrolled at NBHS. I truly believe that your attitude shaprs your experience. All three of mine are doing/ have done well. They challenge themselves and found good friends and committed staff.
