School Reviews
2 11/5/2014
I rank this school a 3 out of 10. Academically they teach for tests and push retesting to keep their ratings falsely high. The school district/school policies are not consistently upheld and extreme measures of discipline are given for minor infractions. In my opinion bulling by the school staff is the reason my child has gone from excelling in learning to having panic attacks and moderate to failing grades. No amount of parent involvement other than for fundraising is encouraged and administration will only provide policy and excuses when confronted about the way they handle any situation. There is a limited number of sports and cheerleading offered. Please consider other school options if you plan on moving the Johnston County, NC. I wish we had now taken our chances and gone a wake county school.
