I cannot say enough about Pineville Elementary. The teachers/staff, PTA and community as a whole is a fantastic place for our children to learn and grow. We have a rising 4th grader who has been here since Kindergarten. We also have a 4 year old who will soon be a Smiler. The Smiler community feels like a family. The teachers and staff truly care about my student and go above and beyond to make learning exciting for him!

I went to quail hollow middle all 3 years and can confidently say it's the worst middle school in Charlotte by a long-shot. Fights are nearly every hour, no teacher likes teaching and staff is shifted so much you can't keep a good teacher student relationship. I transferred to a private high school because of how horrible the following was: Teaching, Social engagement, Academic progress, bomb + shooter threats weekly + drug paraphernalia selling. I know multiple people who would dodge school so they don't have a chance of dying on campus. Please don't send your kid here, this will make them depressed and overall a sad person overall.

My daughter spent 4 years here and loved it. (She is now at UNC Chapel Hill). Took Advance Placement classes all 4 years, enjoyed dances & sporting events, and had some fantastic teachers. Buildings are independent of each other which allows kids to get outside during class. Have been impressed by leadership during the covid era and after. My son is attending South Meck now and is currently a sophomore. While he is not nearly as academic as my daughter, his teachers have been great at communicating with me regarding his progress in class. The population at South is very diverse and the students get along very well. The Language magnet brings some great language teachers to the school as well. In a city of more than a dozen high school, we are very happy at South- My kids are proud to be Sabres!
