The Academy of Moore County

This school will loose its charter for exclusionary practices, poor leadership and mismanagement

My older son and daughter both attended this school and were both behind when it was time to transfer to public school. My daughter also informed me that her teacher gave them the answers to the end of grade test. This would explain why no parents or K-2nd grade are not allowed in the building during this time. This is not what I consider a 5 star school.

We spent several years agonizing over the right decision for our family to make when it came to our children starting their elementary school years. We compared almost every single local public and private school option, looked at gaining approval for out of district admittance to a performing school within our Hoke County location (our public Hoke County neighborhood school has sadly not performed to par for many years which would have allowed an out of district transfer to an overcrowded and not much better performing school on the other side of the county), and we even strongly weighed the options of selling our dream horse farm and downsizing back into Moore County to gain admission to public schools there. None of these felt like the best solution for our needs, despite our multiple visits to multiple school locations, searching all the while for the best "fit" of experiences that we wanted for our children. All of that agony and dissappointment with our limited options disappeared within the first 15 minutes of touring TAMC. We saw immediately that there is a diverse student population, a professional and caring staff of leaders, an exemplary roster of teachers, and well-behaved and engaged children! Yes there are days that are not perfect and yes there are small things we might like to see changed, but the overall result is to say that we could not be happier or more rewarded each day that our daughter comes home describing what was accomplished in her class. We are starting to wind down our daughter's Kindergarten year and what a blessing it has been for us to have been a part of this wonderful school. We will absolutely stick with TAMC and are so happy to have it as an option for our needs! We sincerely hope that adding additional grades beyond 5th is possible in the future as well!

My son attends the Academy. Compared with other schools in the area the Academy is a breath of fresh air. I have seen some of the things my friends children go through at the public school system here and am so happy my children are fortunate enough to have such a wonderful learning environment.

This school has been showing continued growth for the past several years. It has an extraordinary group of staff members and students. They will be going K-5 this year, and year-round next year. It is exciting!
