I am extremely disappointed. I am dealing with an issue with my child and another student at the school. As a concerned parent I wanted to deal with the issue immediately.

I received no help from anyone. I was told one thing would happen but instead I got the run around and it was a totally different outcome. It doesn't seem that they are fair with the discipline and rules..it just depends on who you are talking to..no real interest in the parents concerns. I hate every aspect of this school . Read less

Since we are the Magnet school for International Studies, students are given numerous opportunities to succeed. We always have visitors from different countries, and, because of the magnet program, a large amount of elective classes and AP classes are provided. The only downside about going to North Cobb is that whenever someone inquires where you go to school and you say 'North Cobb', you get the surprised face then a sympathetic 'ohhh'. Read less

This will be my 3rd year at North Cobb and I absolutely LOVE North Cobb. I love the faculty. They do their job and more.
