The teachers are amazing. They go above and beyond their duty to make sure each child is on on or above grade level. Close Quote

The school has a lot of confrontations between the students. I don't feel my child is safe in this school. Many of the students come from poor backgrounds. The teachers seem to focus on teaching for the EOG's instead of basic learning based on the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. The administration is almost impossible to get through to and aren't on the same page with the teachers,parents or stuents. Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
