North Cobb High School does great in its sports programs, giving most of its funding to it. Fine arts however does not get as much attention. This is obvious, giving the students the impression that teachers and admin favor some students over others. The environment of the school is okay, but leaves much to be desired.

The best part of my experience with North Cobb was my AP Psychology class. My worst experience was pep rallies.

Currently I am a sophomore at north cobb high School the best part in my current experience has been the teachers for most of them I was expecting to just to be strict the necessary but I ended up finding out that most of the teachers are actually pretty helpful and are willing to help you out bad experiences I've been with other students somewhere just pretty rude then some are drug addicts.

This school is probably the worst high school in Cobb County. The administration and counseling offices. Do not care about your child’s well-being. No one at North Cobb returns phone calls or parent concerns at all especially the counseling office and administration.. do yourself a favor stay far aw...

Low! The staff are rude . Teachers seem to hit or miss. If it wasn’t for my child I’d move from this school system.
