Have had 3 children through the doors of this school, the last as a senior currently. The older two both got into universities, including UF, which is extremely competitive (#5 public university in the US). It's worth noting that in 2012/2013, the school had undergone a complete renovation/rebuild and is a state-of-the-art facility with advanced STEM programs (the Marine Lab is fantastic). The staff has always been extraordinarily responsive and proactive towards the children's education. As of 2025, the school is an "A" rated school... so the 4/10 rating is completely off and likely skewed by older results. The area demographics vary extremely wildly from upper upper income to pverty level- but that doesn't seem to have presented any sort of social stratification within the school. The area in general is fairly peaceful and safe, so this school doesn't see some of the issues that plague larger cities or larger schools. Highly recommend this school. This County (Charlotte) is an "open" school system- meaning, your kids are free to attend any of their public schools, transportation being the limiting factor. Even if we lived on the other side of the harbor I would STILL have found a way to have my kids attend this school.

The school is incredible if you are looking for very good teachers. The only dislike is coach stier, my child always complains on how he favors the girls and is always being creepy. Overall amazing school except that one gym coach.

Do not sent your child here . There is no monitoring at lunch or recess . Kids hit each other and are not seperated for bad behavior. They are horrible at communicating with parents . There is no sick policy so kids are at school sick . Absences are only excused with doctors notes and even then they are still marked unexcused. Arrogant staff. Horrible school.
