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.

The best experience at north is meeting very nice teachers that can also help you personally and become not just your teacher but a friend to you and the worse part is the counselor there don't know how to help you.

Well my best part of being a cavalier in north Rowan high school was meeting my friends and also my teachers they help me a lot in everything, and the worst part was sometimes the alumnos sometimes they don't like to listen but my experience in NRHS was a good experience because I meet new people I also I graduated in there so always is going to be special for me.

Though the student population is the smallest in rowan county North Rowan High is a great school. My son had the option to go to several different high schools but he selected North Rowan High School. This is his last year and I am going to truly miss the NRH staff.
