11/1/2024
My experience at my high school has been great. I started late in freshman year because I moved in with my dad, it was a little scary at first because I was used to Virginia Beach schools. But once I was in the school I knew I found my family. This school showed me what high school was meant to be. I was taught that you just go to school and do work, and that's boring because you need school spirit and that is what I. C Norcom has. At my school, we have administrators, teachers, and students who all show school spirit daily.

It's a good school. Admin is usually helpful and teachers are nice. The core math and science classes are good and well taught. They did collapse the STEM program which is disappointing.

I really enjoy my time at I.C Norcom. Being involved and getting to know who you're around is a good thing. The teachers i've had are so helpful and supportive.

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.
8/9/2018
Quality education, with educators who pride themselves with integrity, skills, knowledge, and Greyhound Pride.
5/9/2018
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....
12/17/2017
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.
