Principal Cassady does a great job running the school. Teachers and staff are friendly as well. My issue is the security of the school. Lots of open and accessible areas to the school. My son was lost (trapped in a bathroom) for 40 minutes until a teacher realized.

Excellent All-Around High SchoolUP is a fantastic high school that offers strong academics (including AP and Sandhills Community College courses), competitive sports with great coaches, and a vibrant music program. More importantly, the school teaches values that last a lifetime.I have one son currently attending and two who graduated, went on to college, and now have successful careers—thanks in large part to the foundation UP provided. Highly recommend UP for a well-rounded, meaningful high school experience.

When I attended Crain’s Creek, I was the subject of multiple acts of violence and bullying. Even having cameras, I was attacked in the region where they were not available. Even with multiple violations, the school did absolutely nothing about it. I eventually transferred schools, and learned what a good learning environment looked like. Crain’s Creek has too many students to effectively teach, and to keep bullying at bay. The week after I left, there were threats of weapons, and a student almost died from injuries received during a fight at the hands of a student. The teachers effectively communicated the core standards of their classroom and provided some useful information. I always found them accommodating, however I have always been considered far advanced for any grade level. The classrooms were by far the safest space on campus, and I will forever thank the teachers for providing me with a safe haven.
