My daughter casa bullied constantly by one student. Her locker was slammed in her face her lip was cut. My last straw was when my daughter came home from school with her nose busted and the teacher "forgot" to tell me about it. We have moved on worst school ever mind you my daughter was in 2nd grande no second grader or any one should suffer something like this.

nice school to be in for kids to learn

The "parents" who wrote the good reviews here are positively clueless, because this must be truly one of the worst high schools in the country. The principal has absolutely no history or professional training in educational administration (good luck finding any C.V. on any of the administrators or teachers on the school's website)--and she constantly twitters Bible quotes (being a Christian hardly qualifies one to be a high school principal); the students have no textbooks (in English classes, the teacher reads aloud parts of books; the students are not required to read any books themselves--I wish I were kidding, but I am not); they learn NOTHING about American history, other than about local personages such as Robert E. Lee (I challenge anyone to quiz a history class at this school on even the most fundamental knowledge of either WWI or WWII: the answers you get will be guesses, or "we were fighting the British"); there are no handouts because the school says they can't afford the paper; the teachers--with few exceptions--are sub-par, offering the students haphazard or no intellectual challenge whatsoever. The school boasts a relatively high graduation rate, but it means nothing: many of the students they "graduate" are semi-literate, at best. In fact, it is the norm at the school just to push students through, regardless of their capacities. The entire institution needs an overall; North Carolina's children certainly deserve better than this.
