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 teachers are all amazing people and have the ability to connect with its students in such a meaningful way but it lacks proper standardization in certain subjects and courses.

I really do like my high school. All of the teachers are so friendly and inviting, they want to see you succeed. The school is relatively clean and well-kept, even though it has been around for quite a while. There is a wide range of classes and options for whatever students may desire.

I went to this school as a teen and now my son attends Northwest Cabarrus high. The teachers are very caring and the students really care about this school. My son plays a couple sports here at Northwest Cabarrus high and there are many other clubs to attend.
