Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
While size limits the number of electives and foreign languages available, it enhances the involvement of teachers and parents. Our kids can play on any sport team, be part of yearbook, leadership etc. Hug High School in Reno has broken their 1200 student population down to 4 schools to emulate this small school model. Every year our seniors are accepted in top schools. Every year our parent driven support clubs (Boosters, Fan Club, VIPS) raise more than $50,000 (sometimes way more) to support great programs, in addition to the money we get from Measure A. With a brand new theater, new classroom wings with state of the art technology, teacher driven trips each year abroad, a fairly young teacher population as well as staff, I think this high school is on an upward spiral. Ride the wave folks! I have 2 students there, both on their way to college.

I graduated from NTHS last year and am now at San Diego State. I feel way more prepared most of the other students in my classes. I can also still contact my NT teachers for help. I am especially ahead of the game in Anatomy and English. I feel lucky to have gone to NT and to have had the opportunity to have so much teacher support and such close friendships with my classmates. NT is a great school for students who are willing to work!

I recently graduated from North Tahoe and am now attending UCLA. Although North Tahoe does not have as many academic options as a larger, more highly funded school does, North Tahoe is a wonderful high school that offers so much opportunity to grow if one takes advantage of it. The teachers at North Tahoe truly care about their students and because of the small student population, students have the opportunity to become very close with the teachers and staff. I am now doing very well at UCLA and I would not have wanted to spend my high school years anywhere else.

No matter what other people say, NTHS is not a bad school. It someone says it is it usually means their children weren't trying hard enough and it's their own fault. Yes there is a lack in diversity of classes but one can make it very far if one tries. The teachers of the harder classes are excellent. There are just a few bad teachers that need to be avoided.

My child has had wonderful personal attention and has been able to be involved in multiple sports and activities. We are very happy with North Tahoe.
—Submitted by a parent
The quality of the academic programs at this school is bare minimum at best, although they do have a very srong music program. One of the best, and the only thing this school really has to offer.
—Submitted by Christina, a parent
Graduated from NTHS recently. Found that the quality of the school and its academic programs was not nearly as high as other schools that I have since been in contact with. Teachers were OK, but the availability of a diverse offering of courses is very lacking due to small school size.
—Submitted by a former student
This school goes through a new principal every other year. Our child graduated from middle school with straight 'A's' and could not get necessary college prep courses in a timely fashion. The counselor seemed indifferent to this matter. We eventually moved out of this district and have no regrets.

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.

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.

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.
