This is one of the worst elementary schools I have ever had to worry with. We are military and have seen many, but this one tops the cake. The children are unruly and the staff lets them get away with it. The staff themselves are a very bad influence on the students. The new principal seems very nice

Scurlock elementary school is not as bad as everyone say's it is! The fact it that you can have bad teachers at any school and Scurlock is no exception. My son went there for kindergarten and he had an exceptional teacher. But I must admit, I was very skeptical of Scurlock when I first saw it. But like

I don't think the school is good at all. My kid went there and the teacher pushed her for no reason. We went and talked to the principal and she didn't do anything. What kind of school is this?

Wow,thank you ladies for the views on Scurlock. My daughter just started K there. The neighborhood is rough. When we built our house a few miles away, we never knew Scurlock existed. Stray dogs,unkept homes, shady people walking, but what do you expect when you move to the 2nd poorest county in NC? The
... Read more school is old, but the teachers are nice. My daughter is learning to read in K. She impresses me everyday! The schools are trying to bring up the EOG scores, but there is one thing we need to realize. A lot of the kids who attend Scurlock have parents that dont care and don't participate in the daily activities, such as homework. My point is if the parents support their child,there will be success. If you are a parent who expects the school system to raise your kid for you, blame yourself when you he/she fails the EOG. It's always easier to blame someone else. Read less

My son is in the 1st grade. My daughter will start K next year. We have had some problems and the principal has helped us solve them efficiently. His K teacher was wonderful and 1st grade is nothing to complain about. My only complaint is my son is advanced for his grade level. Nothing is being

Beware! Scurlock is in a high crime, gang and drug neighborhood. The store beside the school sells alcohol during school hours and the drunks tend to stand in front of the school to drink. The vice principal is a wonderful lady, she will be the principal this year, the teachers I have dealt with

Bragg, Do not move to Hoke County...opt for on-base housing and send your elementary and middle school children to DoDDs schools on base. You will be much happier Read less
