North Scott sports teams are known as the Lancers; their uniforms display the school's colors of scarlet and silver.
The school fields athletic teams in 19 sports, including:
- Summer: Baseball and softball.
- Fall: Football, volleyball, boys' cross country, girls' cross country and boys' golf.
- Winter: Boys' basketball, girls' basketball, wrestling and boys' and girls' bowling.
- Spring: Boys' track and field, girls' track and field, boys' soccer, girls' soccer, girls' golf, boys' tennis and girls' tennis.
North Scott does not field its own swimming program; however, swimmers from North Scott participate in a cooperative with neighboring Pleasant Valley. The school also has a cheerleading squad and a competitive dance team named the Silver Shakers.
North Scott is classified as a 4A school (Iowa's largest 48 schools), according to the Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union; in sports where there are fewer divisions, the Lancers are usually in the largest class (e.g., Class 3A for wrestling, boys soccer, and Class 2A for golf and tennis). Exceptions include certain girls' sports, where North Scott is a 4A school in volleyball and girls' basketball, which have five classes, and is a 2A school in girls' soccer, which has three classes. The school is a member of the 10-team Mississippi Athletic Conference (known to locals as the MAC), which comprises schools from the Iowa Quad Cities, along with Burlington, Clinton and Muscatine high schools.
North Scott enjoys its biggest rivalries with MAC schools Bettendorf and Pleasant Valley.
