NOHS Mustangs: You've come so far in such a short time! A 'Great Schools' Rating, an athletic stadium to be proud of, an auditorium (WooHoo!!) that's almost done - and a beautiful media center... Now if we could just get those computers for that computer lab...

There are few places that feel more like my home than NOHS. When I was going there I was at school more than I was at home. I was involved in many extra-curricular activities and all of the teachers are amazingly helpful and friendly. I even liked the teachers of the subjects I hate. NOHS is a great

Great academics, and a great, if not small, arts program make this school everything I wanted. It's not as if I had much choice in going here, but I'm glad this was my alma mater. Read less

I am a parent of four students one of which is graduating this week. All of my students are involved in sports and also make great grades due to the fantastic staff that goes the extra mile for them at North. It has been really rough on our student body the last two year because of construction but

I am not a political person at school, but I do take a huge interest in what my students are studying, when the have a test and being there for them when the are out at a sporting event. Go North!

People who go to North take advantage of all of the privlidges we are given. As part of one of the first graduating classes I was not always so positive. The facilities were definitely lacking, but the staff and materials were not. No school is perfect but I have now graduated from a major university

I hated how hard things were when I went there, but I have since realized that because of those challenges I was more than successful in college. I believe there is no other high school that can prepare you better. No, not every NOHS graduate will go on to do something great but they gave us the foundation. In fact I have said college was fairly easy and I have to give NOHS credit for preparing me as much as they did. Read less

With 4 yrs experience, I certainly agree with comment of 'school and all of the administration is highly political . Favoritism is strong for children whose parents are 'connected'.' However, the educational opportunities have been positive and above normal for this area and surrounding counties. This
... Read more is why I choose the school initially. But child is mature enough to recognize the 'politics' running rampant. It has become a struggle to even go in and suffer through another day of BS. The administration must lack something very important to let 'connected parents' continue to call the shots in so many various aspects - from the office to athletic program. I have seen many excellent teachers depart - rather it be from their own accord or being run off? The newest principal does an excellent job of communicating with the parents through email, OneCall & mailings. Maybe things will improve more with time? Read less

North Oldham High School has been a disappointment since its doors opened. Two of my children attended this school, one an overachiever, the other an underachiever, and both look back miserably on their experiences, or lack there of, at this school. The facility lacked in every aspect of a high school,

However be aware, should you choose to send your child here, the school and all of the administration is highly political . Favoritism is strong for children whose parents are 'connected'. I regret North Oldham High School was a part of my chilrens life. Read less

I'm not sure why North Oldham gets such a great reputation. My high school experience has certainly been, like my rating, below average. The facilities have been terrible, the cafeteria is carpeted and our 'theatre' is a rickety platform in our cafetorium. It disgusts me to look back on my experience

* In 2007-2008 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in several subjects. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The results reflect the performance of students enrolled for at least 100 days before testing. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky. KCCT academic indices range between 0 and 140, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.
