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.

Norco High School is a great, small school with a lot of character. Even though it only has 2000 students, the entire community supports the school which creates an awesome environment to learn and play sports. Everyone is kind and cares about the students. The community shows up to support our sports and lots of them volunteer their time to help the school become successful.

My past experiences at Norco High school are wonderful. At the end of my senior year my brother who was also a Norco high graduate class of 2020 passed away and the Norco High principal really made the remaining moments of my senior year the best that she could. She allowed me to bring my entire family to my graduation, she brought me flowers and gave me whatever I needed no questions asked. She truly made my experience one I will never forget.

There's nothing crazy remarkable about Norco high school, there's not much diversity or drive in the majority of students. Their library is only open a half hour after the school day. That is horrible-what's the point of having a library if I can't even stay and study in there!!

NHS has a great sports program for almost all of their sports offered. They have an amazing Softball, baseball, and Football team! Some liberal teachers that feel the need to input their views, but for the most part the teachers are good. NHS is far better than the other HS's in the CNUSD.

I think Norco High is a GREAT school. It is big enough that they have a great athletics, theater and FFA programs, yet small enough that the students get to know each other. The teachers are easy to communicate with, your kid's counselor is ready and willing to listen to your child and you to solve...

One of the worst school i have ever experienced for my kids. Not counting the drugs and problems on campus with violence. The firing of our coaches just worsened the situation. I just don't know why many kids get overlooked on getting help compared to other schools in corona or other districts. I ha...

Norco High has always come across as one who cares about the students & their education. I can tell the teachers are on top of the requirements for their education (based on my son's homework alone). When I go to the "back to school nights" I can also see by things in the classrooms & the meeting of...
