The teachers provide outstanding support to kids who are struggling if the kids are willing to put forth the effort. I have never seen the staff commitment at this level. Outstanding.

Norco High school has great programs and is a comfortable environment where most students feel welcome :) I transfered here after one year at Ealanore Roosavelt and I am soo glad I switched. The only reason I have rated this school with four stars instead of five is because I find that there are a few teachers that do not care about student success or grades and are unwilling to help.

i am freshman 2015 class at Norco high, i start in varsity girls soccer, and am involved in FFA. Ive read all of these comments previous to me, and most of them are parents complaining about how they don't want to face that their children are screw ups. As a student who is highly involved in Norco, overall Norco is a good school, the security guards don't have favorites, the teachers only help students who are willing to work, and we have the higher class of people. the only way i could dis this school, is our chew problem. most teachers are aware and they do act against it, but some don't report it. i look forward to years and progression to come from norco high school. out of southern California, norco is one of the better ones.

i am a sophmore now at this school. i start varsity in football. i get no special treatment from security guards or teachers like some people think. i have to work just as hard, if not, harder then other students to keep my parents, coaches, and teachers happy. its a fun school. obviously we have some students that dont like the school or just dont care about school, but every school has some kids like that. norco high is one of the best schools in the CNUSD district. thankyou for reading this

I have never seen a school where the teachers just don't care about their students. I have a junior who is struggling in class and the only response I receive from the resource counselor is I told you to put him in the special ed classes. Whatever happened to trying to determine the reason for the poor grades and finding the best result. I can't believe that they only want to put him in a slow class so that there is no additional interaction. Incidentally, the child brought home a progress report and the grades have all improved but one...maybe his problem is not a result of academics. Come to find out, it appears to be my sole responsiblity to fix his grades and learning. I am working towards removing this child from this school. No child should be met year after year with uncaring teachers. After all, we are all aware that the teachers do not enter this vocation because of the pay.

Admitted spoiled from quality public schools in another state but my experience with Norco High School has been extremely poor. Started with multiple trips to the registrars office where the most common responses were I am new or I don't know or not my problem should have gotten xyz in the mail which we did not. Once registered to get the parent connect setup correctly took weeks and finally when I reached out to my daughters teachers less than half emailed or called me back. Never dealt with a school ever who teachers and staff were so disorganized, lazy, and unable to get the job done. I idealogically believe in a public school system but never have seen or experienced such a low quality of one.

this school is the best school in cnusd! whether in sports or in books we seem to rock it! the security guards do not have favorites!!they are all very friendly and can see the (illegal) things happening in front of them. they seem like they have favorites but they dont! those kids just seem to be more friendlier than others and talk to the security gurads more.. the counselers are soo great and helpful as well as staff! youu just have to be willing to learn about academics not only ffa or ag stuff... :)

Honestly, as a student here I've had some pretty great times with the FFA and stuff. But main problems are coming from the students. We're divied up into our cliques and ethnics. The school is WAY TO CROWDED! Waiting in line for lunch takes your entire break unless you are first in line. Alot of things get out of hand as in students using chew in class, and such on campus. Security chooses favorites and lets the students they know well do as they please. It's not very fair! FFA is a amazing thing to get into so try it!

I have a son that graduated in 08 and a daughter who is currently a sophomore. I really wish this school would get it's act together! Most of the faculty appear to be there to simply collect a paycheck. Security is seriously blind to the illegal activities in front of their faces. Unless your child is on a sports team or in the honors program...forget it. I am so disgusted with Norco High School. I am an involved parent whose kids do well academically, but god forbid they need help from a teacher or a guidance counselor. I could go on but will spare all.

As a parent and staff member at NHS I believe that there are unlimited opportunities for students. Education is what you put into it! We have students attending Harvard, Stanford, USC, Etc... (Not only athletes) so obviously if a student desires an education it is available. My suggestion to all parents who feel that their child is not in a positive environment is to visit other high school campuses. I have had children at 3 of the 5 comprehensive high schools in CNUSD and I am very happy with Norco High. As a staff member I feel completely safe on campus (day and night). The sense of community is awesome and I feel very connected to my students and parents. Are there problems at Norco High? As in ALL public high schools there are problems as well as students who are unwilling to learn and have no consequences for their actions.

Seeing how student reviews seem rare here, this will be a new thing. Norco High School isn't such a bad school but i can agree that the faculty and 'elder' involvement is less than average. Heh...I actually met a guy who worked at the school and he was able to point out his photo in a yearbook that was laying about outside the activities office...I thought that was sad. Most of the kids are extremely friendly but there are still those that don't care about education and openly express it which is definitely a big no for a teaching environment. Well that is all I have for now.

Overall, this school has poor leadership. We've received very little information at home about events, goals, etc. We've had extensive communication with teachers, but their workload appears to be maxed out and they are unable to deal with discipline problems.

My daughter graduated in 2004 and is a senior at UCR and will graduate a year early. I attribute that to Norco High School teacher Kim Christopher -- she made a difference in my child's life by instructing in a way that kept the students interested. While attending NHS, my daughter took advantage of the AP and Honors classes and got college credit for passing the AP exams in four of them. I am thankful to the teachers, especially Ms. Christopher, who cared more about the students than administrative tasks- she made a difference. Get Involved parents - it is a great school. I also believe having my child involved in wrestling, swimming and band helped her to set priorities and manage her time, something she has needed in college.

My daughter is a Freshman this year at N.H.S. and so far I have been involved in a variety of events and issues that have resulted in our disappointment with the school's leadership from the Principal and a couple of 'veteran' Custodian/Security people. The Parent/Teacher communications have been great. I feel the students would have better chances for success if they were able to rely on their Principal and other Staff when needed.

Academics seem to be fine. My daughter is bored and needs harder classes but heaven forbid she get her schedule changed. Music, art, and sports, along with the rest of it is fabulous. The kids have plenty they can get involved in. I am very involved in in all my other childrens schools, including the P.T.A. board. This school has never once sent a parent helper flyer home.

My son attended Norco High in 2004 and had a great time. He was in a few clubs and they kept his interest. The teachers cared about the students.

I was a student at Norco High and I have currently moved. I really enjoyed going to school in Norco for one reason...Choir. Choir at Norco High was the best experience for me. Mr Giorgetti (the teacher) has an amazing ability to connect with students and create an amazing choir. Every year the choir seemed to get better and better. Other than choir I really enjoyed my math and language arts classes. My teachers were amazing. I really sincerely miss going to Norco High.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.

The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 California used the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) to test high school students' skills in English language arts and mathematics. The results for grade 10 students taking the test for the first time are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The CAHSEE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of California. Students must pass all parts of the CAHSEE in order to graduate from high school. If they do not pass it the first time, students have multiple opportunities to retake the test. The goal is for all students to pass both sections of the test.
