Good school, so far for my sophomore son.

I'm not sure if the problem lies at the administrative or educator level, but I've noticed that my child is not excelling or progressing with his school work. We recently moved and Dillard Drive was our assigned school. Compared to her past experiences, we have not seen improvements in her academics and if anything, her behavior at home has been affected.

I went here for my first year of middle school and i hated it. People were constantly vaping, smoking, fighting, bullying and teachers didnt even care. People brought weapons to school and they didnt get suspended untill the next day. Teachers would quit mid year and right before eog´s so that wasnt helpful and barley any electives the ap was weird i wasnt a big fan of her its just a mess in general dont go there.

This school is a terrible choice for parents and students looking for a supportive teachers. Teachers will rarely listen to or try to understand a student's point of view. The administration will ignore many student concerns without any investigation unless parents interfere. Many of the work handed is just busy work and rarely has an impact on student learning. There are some helpful teachers but there are even more cruel teachers. It's incredibly hard to fix grades that a student didn't deserve without parental interference. The courses offered are very restrictive as well.

I have had an amazing experience as a student at this school. This has made me not only ready for college but also the professional world. Throughout my four years here I was able to grow and learn through the help of the incredible students and staff. I can't wait to see what Wake STEM becomes.

While we have had a few bumps getting our boy engaged, the leadership have been great partners with looking at options. This school is a college prep school so there is not an emphasis in the Arts, but more a focus on core curriculum. We love that there are male teachers teaching our boy as they provide examples of strong role models. We love the uniforms!

All teachers are very attentive and helpful especially Principal Baker during this pandemic. We are very lucky to belong to a school who treats the children as their own.
