Norfork High School is fantastic. The teachers care about the students and help to keep parents informed. The principal has many years experience and is respected by the children. The parent involvement exceeded all of my expectations. Above all, this is a nice & quiet school. You dont have to worry about all the things you would have in the larger cities.
