We really like this school, they address discrimination and bullying appropriately and thus there is not much of it. They take academics seriously. Dont based your decision on the scores above as you see they rank 8 in every category with exception of student improvement, at the same time, all students are off the charts college readiness and testing. In context that just means that the students enroll at a remarkable level and regress, but their regression is way above the norm. This is common with great high schools that have even greater middle school feeders.

Kids here are extremely rude, staff do nothing about bullying reports, complaints, or really anything at all. My kids have gone here and complained multiple times that the peers there are not very kind and often get in heated fights. Teachers are not very respectful either and neither is the the principle. Nothing there is factual all disrespectful and counselors are extremely numb in the head. Do not recommend this terrible school!!

We feel incredibly fortunate to be a part of the Patriots Elementary family. Both of our boys just completed milestone years: one graduating from 3rd grade and the other finishing kindergarten. Our experience has been nothing short of exceptional.The teachers at Patriots are caring, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s success. Our third grader’s teachers challenged and supported him every step of the way, encouraging his curiosity and helping him grow both academically and personally. The kindergarten staff made our youngest feel right at home from day one, creating a warm and nurturing environment that made the transition to “big kid school” so much easier for our family.The entire Patriots staff, from the front office to the administration, has always been friendly, responsive, and supportive. School events are well-organized and engaging for the whole family, helping us feel connected and building a strong sense of community. We love how the school brings together families from the neighborhood and creates a welcoming space for everyone.Patriots Elementary is more than just a school. It’s a community where students, parents, and staff all work together. We’re so grateful for the positive experiences our boys have had here and can’t recommend Patriots highly enough.I would encourage fellow parents to remember that ratings like those on GreatSchools often act as a proxy for broader societal biases around race and socioeconomic class. As longtime residents of the area, we specifically chose this community for its resemblance to the diverse, middle-class environment we were privileged to grow up with in Charlotte, which we preferred that over less inclusive communities with higher GreatSchools ratings that simply reflect higher average socioeconomic status.
