i’ve grew up in oconee county schools my entire life. and if you’re thinking of sending your kid here and they’re somewhat different then the average high schooler; don’t. the kids here are so horrible to the other students especially if you’re different, and it’s because all of them were raised to think they are the greatest of all time. some of the students are genuinely so kind and so caring but majority will do everything in their power to make you feel like you are less then them. just saying, this school is NOT the place for students who are “different “. And the teachers are okay, i have had a few teachers in my academic career at NOHS and they’re great. but most of them are so unfair. they pick favorites and they treat you like you are nothing because they have authority over you. they don’t care ab you’re actual well being unless it benefits them. the counselors are all super kind tho so i have to give NOHS that, because they rlly do care about everyone and want everyone to pass. however, the administration also picks sides and especially if you are a popular student who can lie. i really am just rambling at this point, but i’m so serious. DO NOT send your kids here if they look “different “ then a average high schooler!

North Oconee helps my children succeed. Everyone there is very kind and helpful and my kids have made many friends. The schedules are very organized and the school gives breaks for students. The courses are amazing and the school even provides free tutoring every Tuesday. The school is a place that I know my children will be safe in when something happens.

Outstanding school from top to bottom. Academic, Athletics & Personal Growth, Safety and Well-being. There's a clear reason why this school is one of the top high schools in the country and why the county is (unfortunately) seeing so much growth. My only concern is if Oconee County continues to see a influx from Gwinnett County families, we could become what their county and schools have become.

We moved to Oconee County for the school system. My child has had rigorous classes & an opportunity to excel at NOHS. My only regret is that my child has experienced racial bias by some students, teachers & administrators.

This school is really disappointing. It supposedly has high ranking in the state, but it is only good for middle of the road students whose family does not want them in Clarke County. My daughter is disabled and the school has refused her accommodations, made the IEP process bitterly difficult and tried to intimidate our family. We are moving out of GA at the end of this school year to find a better high school for our very bright kid.

As a student, I can honestly say that I can't imagine a better school. We are challenged everyday and more importantly, encouraged to challenge ourselves. The counselors work extremely hard to help students in any way they can, and our principal is the most respectable man. He gives us respect, and without force, he gets it back. Our class choices are wonderful for such a young school - about 15 different APs (not selective- anyone can sign up), core classes with techers who make the topics interesting, and many many CTAE courses and pathways. Our extracurriculars are encouraged - we have a huge amount of clubs to join and North Oconee excells in the fine arts as well as sports. Ask a parent, teacher/faculty member, or student, NOHS is a fantastic school.
