I attended Cary when I was in middle school, and now I have an 8th grader that goes there. This school has changed for the worst. I am so glad that this is my childs last year up there. I feel like 90% of the staff is only there to collect a paycheck.

I am not pleased with the environment, my child often feels picked on and believes that coming forward will only cause more harm. Child does not believe that teachers or staff can do anything about it. Continual being afraid is not condusive to a good learning environment.
