I attended and graduated from NC.HS I found that the classes, teachers, ad the administration prepared me for college and more importantly for life.

As a parent, I like the small class sizes and one-on-one attention. However the school's budget doesn't allow for as much as that of larger schools'.

I also attended this High school.I agree that teachers tend to pay more attention to kids who's parents are well known in the community.The prep for college as well is just simply not there.I would look at Effingham ,Flora,orTeutopolis ,as these schools are far superior to North Clay.

I went to this school as a kid. The teachers tended to favor the kids whose parents were well known in the community. It is a very safe school, but I would recommend looking at Flora, or Effingham. These schools are a little bigger and not so political, and are also great schools.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Illinois used the Prairie State Achievement Examination (PSAE) to test students in grade 11 in reading, math and science. The PSAE is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Illinois. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
