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.

Nansemond River HS is a good school to attend. The teachers work hard to educate us. If I could change something, it would be the cafeteria food served.

Communication is bad the learning and leak of clubs. Over the limit of students in the school. The amount of fights is to much. Getting the students ready for life outside of high school isn't great. Really helping all students get ready for college is low.

My overall experience at NansemondRiver High School has been okay. It isn't one of the best schools. Some teachers are better than others, depending on the classes you are placed in you may have some great opportunities. The school offers a lot of sports and activities the sports teams are pretty decent.
