GreatSchools Rating
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.

Some of the bathrooms could really need a revamp and new teachers haven't stayed much recently, however I do love the school. It's very involved with its students and parents and has a great campus life.

North Desoto High school is overall a great school. It is very inclusive, has a great helping staff, and has many classes that direct into many different career fields. While North Desoto is a terrific place to be I believe that this school should create more ways to acknowledge and support people of different ethnicities and backgrounds as this is a predominantly white institution.

North DeSoto gave me some of the best and hardest years. The academic side of the school is absolutely unmatched in the Parish and the area. I now work there and have seen so many improvements in the way the admin cares about the students.
