About
At North Cobb, we believe a student’s success in life is dependent upon more than just grades. To become truly “educated,” we believe students must recognize and develop their intellect, their talents, and their aspirations.
We are deeply focused on 21st century academics and offer a variety of curricular and extracurricular options for students. Our students enjoy advanced placement courses, NJROTC, fine arts, career and technical education courses, world languages, nationally recognized clubs, and athletics.
Cobb families know the Cobb County School District has a reputation for excellence, as Cobb’s students consistently perform better than their peers. You could live anywhere, yet over 200,000 parents choose to raise their children in Cobb. You know that a Cobb education gives your children a competitive advantage for scholarships, college, future employment, and life.
Once again, Cobb families can feel even more confident their students are receiving a high-quality education following the most recent accreditation review by Cognia, one of Cobb’s accrediting agencies and one of the largest in the world.
After recently completing an Accreditation Engagement Review, which took almost one year to complete, every school in Cobb County has been accredited for an additional six years.
