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.

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 have been attending NCHS since Freshman year, which was about 2014. We have moved schools since , I think we moved from our Conway NC location in about 2016 to early 2017. We moved to Gaston NC which was a better building and didn't have mold. Even though now our building is a lot smaller. I really enjoyed my 4 years of high school. Also my classmates we share a lot of good memories together since middle school. They really prepare you for the real world and work.

We have Honors and AP courses. You can do dual-enrollment at the community college, and there are a wide variety of clubs and organizations but its either hard to get into them or they don't last that long.

We have more sports than we did before we combined schools, so that's a plus and our teams have only become better.
