This School’s Reviews

4.0 Sophomore

I would say I.C Norcom is an amazing school although in some areas, there is room for a lot of improvement.

5.0 Senior

9/23/2024

The best part is homecoming week, alumni's from everywhere comes back just to support and have a reunion within that week. The worst part is the no phone rule especially during lunch that's our only free time and we can't even be on our phones. Our school is highly spirited and involved throughout the community.

4.0 Senior

3/12/2024

overall it is a great school. school spirit is great but administrators are strict and student code of conduct isn't taught at all and they need to do a better job explaining where the rules come from and why they are set.

Very pleased with the education provided to my nieces. Smaller classes, nurturing teachers, supported administration, strong heritage and alumni association. Norcom is well on its way to the mission set by Israel Charles Norcom.

Quality education, with educators who pride themselves with integrity, skills, knowledge, and Greyhound Pride.

I am not impressed with this school and frankly don't understand how they maintain their status. Unfortunately, the majority of us parents were either not aware that our houses were zoned for this school, or have been unable to sell our property due to the undesirable reputation that Portsmouth has....

The leadership is weak. The leadership there has a terrible administrative record. There has been so much scandal attached to the leadership ... its amazing how it hasnt gotten any media attention considering how much scrutiny has been given to Portsmouth politics.
