Virtually 100 percent of graduates matriculate to four-year colleges or universities. The curriculum in the high school includes Advanced Placement, Honors, College Prep, and Academic courses. The Academic curriculum is less demanding in that students cover material at a somewhat slower pace. All students must be enrolled in at least five courses daily, four of which must be from the academic disciplines of mathematics, science, English, social studies, computer science, or foreign language. The school operates a two-semester system.
Students sit for comprehensive examinations at the end of each term.
The school day is divided into six 50-minute class periods that meet daily. Also, one NMSC Scholarship winner was named a United States Presidential Scholar for the state of Georgia. For the computation of grade point average, only courses from the disciplines of mathematics, science, English, social studies, computer science, and foreign language are considered. All students enrolled in AP courses are required to take the Advanced Placement examination. Ninety-four percent of the scores on these exams were 3 or higher.
