Cary High is a great school, My one daughter graduated from here and doing science and engineering associates together,other daughter is in 11 grade , i have a superb experince with their studies they never struggles for their homework , all teschers are well trained , experienced and supportive. I am well satisfied with this school progress.

We are now in my daughter's second year at Farmington Woods, where she has attended kindergarten and is now in first grade. Overall, we have had a great experience. First, I want to highlight the positives—this may be the most important indicator of a good school for me: my daughter genuinely loves going to school every day. She is excited in the mornings at drop-off and equally enthusiastic at pick-up as she shares stories about her day. As a parent, it's wonderful to see her so engaged. She also adores her teachers and insists on visiting her teacher from last year during every family school event. I appreciate her teachers as well and can see that they genuinely care about their work.The school emphasizes community values, which I value greatly. However, my daughter has faced challenges with learning, particularly in reading and spelling. Her teachers have been proactive in intervening, creating a plan, and maintaining communication with me to ensure she receives the support she needs. I am extremely grateful for their efforts.My experience with communication from staff and teachers at the school has been inconsistent, which is why I rated it a 4 out of 5. I rated the Special Education services a 3 out of 5. My daughter has struggled with speech, and her kindergarten teachers recognized this early, suggesting an evaluation for speech therapy. Unfortunately, there was a delay due to a new speech therapist transitioning into the role, so she didn’t start therapy until the last month of the school year.As we enter the second year, I have received no communication from the speech therapist, which is concerning. This lack of communication creates a disconnect and makes me feel unaware of the support my child is receiving. I don’t think it's a matter of the therapist's ability or care; rather, it seems to stem from poor communication and possible staffing issues. Overall, the positives at Farmington Woods Magnet Elementary outweigh the negatives, and we’re happy to be here.

I SUFFERED in my two and a half years at this school. Gang violence, drugs, bullying controlled that place. None of it makes the news. My grades dropped, my mental health was at an all time low, I was degraded, abused, and taunted by students and the staff did next to nothing to help. I told counselors and begged them for solutions, all I got was an admin pass and mediations which only made it worse. I didn’t go to any classes and hid in the library, teachers didn’t care I was gone, just asked when my work would be gone. One counselor violated a privacy rule after I told her how bad the bullying was, the next day I walked into school and all my teachers were trying to ask me when the bullying started. I was physically abused by students and the higher ups just told me they’d talk to them. Teachers watched me get hit, pinched, pulled, yelled at, and said nothing. My parents were not informed about anything going on with me during my time at ECMS. Students from Cary High were allowed on campus and roamed during carpool hours waiting to taunt students. Halfway through eighth grade I signed some papers and stepped out of the school and never went back. During my time there my life was changed and I now have a passion and working towards a career in helping those who were victims to violence and drugs and went downhill. But I will NEVER allow a loved one to step foot near that campus. I fought to make sure my sibling wouldn’t attend. Special needs and 504’s were ignored if you didn’t have obvious disibility. This school diminished my faith in public schooling and I will never be able to experience school the same.
