Please don't send your child here. We moved to this district with high hopes after having bad experiences with another NC high school. Hopes were dashed quickly. NC schools, in general, seem to not care about IEPs or 504 plans. We were told in our meeting with the counselor and only one teacher that since our child was making at least a B in every class that they did not need accommodations! My child has chronic health conditions that include widespread chronic pain and brain fog and orthostatic intolerance, etc. They sometimes need to use a cane due to joint weakness! They also have mental health conditions brought on due to their chronic health conditions. This school was a nightmare for my teenager. My teen tried to drop a class that was causing them to feel depressed and they had been having suicidal thoughts because of the stress of the entire experience (between having classes that were spread out across the entire campus that they had almost no time to rush to while using a cane and nearly passing out due to tachycardia, not being able to eat lunch because there are so many students and the line is so long that the lunch break is over before half of them get to get their food every day!, and dealing with one teacher who may as well have been a Confederate soldier who yelled at everyone and another who was putting extreme pressure on them to be his pet artist due to my kid's talent). The last straw was when we got called to pick my teen up because they were a "suicide" risk due to looking up ways to AVOID suicide on their Chromebook at school one day. They were told not to come back unless they had a note from a random mental health place that assesses for suicide risk. Even though my child already had a therapist and doctors. This place is why they dropped out of school. They are now doing amazing at the end of freshman year at WCU, after getting a high school equivalency diploma. Oh and this high school never even gave me my kid's records when asked.

Very good communication with parents on very aspect.

I HATE THIS SCHOOL WITH A PASSION DON'T COME HERE EVER THEY WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE< THEY BULLY PEOPLE,AND THEY JUST TALK ABOUT PEOPLE FOR NO REASON I WISH I NEVER CAME TO THIS SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY HAVE RUINED MY LIFE THE THREE YEARS I HAVE BEEN HERE THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU WELL BEING AND THEY DON'T LIKE TO SEE YOU HAPPY,THIS SCHOOL IS A DISASTER ADMIN DOESN'T EVEN MAKE THINGS BETTER THEY ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT THEIR REPUTATION THAT THEY LIE AND SAY THAT THEY TAKE CARE OF PROBLEMS BUT THEY NEVER DO, THEY LET PEOPLE GET AWAY WITH THINGS JUST BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT THEY CAN AND ITS NOT ACCEPTABLE,SO YOU GUYS IF YOU WANT TO SAVE YOURSELF OR YOUR CHILDREN DON'T ENROLL THEM INTO THIS SCHOOL.

My son is currently a sophomore SandHoke early college high school. He is a very smart kid & pretty good student who ALWAYS completes his work although at times not to his greatest ability. Now, at this school he has flourished, he had grown in maturity as well as academically. While he still doesn't LOVE going to school (what teen does) he doesn't want to miss a day. He comes home telling me all that he has learned and has a new eagerness to learn. He has 2 college classes he has just started and I can just see the pride he has when he tells people he is taking college courses and will graduate with a diploma & an Associates degree. Unfortunately, we have just found out that we will be relocating VERY soon to another area with a poor school system. As heartbreaking as this is we may consider having our son stay behind with family because he loves his school. So, as rambling as the review may be just know this...my family would highly recommend this school. Im just sad that my soon to be middle schooler will be missing out on this opportunity.
