Both of my children attend this wonderful small school. Small class size gives them more individual attention. I love that by the end of their first year, most of the staff know my students by name and who I am when I come by. GREAT ATMOSPHERE!!!

North Surry, for me, felt like a "make it your own" experience. IF, and I do mean IF, you incentivize yourself, you'll be put through exceptional courses. I wanted to take AP classes, so I met with teachers, other students, and the principle in order to try to get into them. Not to mention how awesome the PLTW (engineering) courses were. They let me in, and I was impressed with the curriculums. It is easy, however, to coast through this school. Take the easy classes, make C's, and graduate feeling like North Surry doesn't care about your education. That simply is not true. In my time there I felt like the faculty cared about me and my mental health. The students were like any other high school, I presume. I'm a 2015 graduate and I'm proud of the fact that I attended. I know kids that attended Governor's School, lawyers, business owners, and other professionals that I went to school with. I think the bad reviews are from lazy students that wanted the faculty to take the initiative for them.

It is a safe and student focused school. Students are encouraged to learn and also encouraged and taught to be good cititzens.

The principal, Dr. White, has been horrible to our child and honestly the worst teacher or principal I have met. Do not send your child here.
