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 like going to this school. My overall experience here has been great, and the administration and teachers are very kind and talented at what they do.

Due to the school's location, the student body is diverse but not as diverse as it could be. This has led to conflicts as well as many students not exactly feeling welcomed. The administrators can often be cold and seem fairly rude at times. As for the teachers, I absolutely love them. Within the last 4 years of attending North Paulding, I've had nothing but wonderful educators, even if a couple of them were iffy at times.

As an Alumni of North Paulding High School, I would say that this school does ready you for college as much as they can. though the school was in a small town and did struggle with administration, I felt safe throughout my 4 years of being there. I do feel like they can be a little petty when it comes to how they address their students which I didn't like but it wasn't all that big a deal to me.

There are tutoring options. The JROTC program has a great group of leaders. Our son was directed towards physics an...
