The teachers at this school are top notch. They really care about their students and work above and beyond the call of duty. I'm sure the ONE disgruntled parent on this site had a child that either totally misbehaved, or just wasn't willing to do the work desired.

This school only caters to its sucessful students. The teachers do not know how to teach students with any difficulties. I couldn't stand it at that school one more day. I had to fight to get my child out. My child entered that school with a low B high C average, after one 9 weeks all C's and D's.

I couldn't be any happier with 71st Classical. I have two children that attend. Learning is the priority at this school. Having teachers that have been with this school for 10 and 15 years gives them pride in their jobs and they pass that on to their students. Great School.

The Seventy First Classical Middle School in Fayetteville, North Carolina stands head and shoulders above all the schools I've seen in the area of Science, Math and Reading. Your teaching staff are to be commended for an excellent job of mentoring these young people to excel above and beyond their peers.
... Read more I've had the opportunity to attend Science Fairs, Spelling Bees, Accelerated Reading competition and am always impressed that the children retain this knowledge with little or no effort. This speaks volumes for your staff and the State Of North Carolina to maintain teachers who will not take nothing less than the best. I pray for continued success. Read less

I attended 71st all three years of middle school. I loved it there! Although the dress code was a hassle, it was a great thing to have. I was extremely prepared for high school and was actually very far ahead of other students who didn't go to 71st. The staff there was great. I was out of school for

I recieved tons of cards from my classes and one big one from the whole 8th grade class. 71st is definitely a place to send your child if they are serious about school like I was. It not only prepares them for high school, but for college as well. Read less

It is hard to believe that seventy First Classical is a Public Middle School! The atmosphere is wonderful, safe and positive. We have found most teachers to be extremely dedicated, open and supportive. The sixth grade team was particularly strong in working with the 'whole child'. Seventh grade seemed
... Read more a bit bogged down in homework. The required uniform is big plus in my mind. The strong academic extracurricular activies (science olympiad, forensics, math counts etc.) are wonderful! Team sports are not available but are easily supplemented through community sports teams. Academic standards are very high and bad behavior is simply not tolerated. A great school of choioce if you have a serious, well behaved student! Crowding and an old, facility (ie. no auditorium, or proper gym) seem to be the only drawbacks. Read less

In my opinon Seventy-First Classical is the best middle school in Cumberland County. This school offers its students a challenge. It is not easy but, its well worth the hard work. This is my sons second year at this school and he is doing great. He is only in the 7th grade but, he is already being
... Read more prepared for college. A few of my family members have had kids to attend this school and they continue to excel at Massey Hill Classical. I also have a niece in the 6th grade at Seventy-First Classical and she is so excited that she was given the honor of attending this school. I feel that the staff at Seventy-First Classical really care about thier students they want to see them succeed not only in middle school, high school and college but, in life as well.

71st does not tolerate any deviation from the rules. Because they are a 'school of choice' they have more leverage to enforce the very strict rules(academic and behavior). You either follow them or they send you back to your hone school. Great school.
