This school doesn't hold to their anti-bullying policies, a student that's bullied and have other students put their hands on your child. The staff,from teachers to principals DO NOT CARE about your child or what they face coming to school here. If your child gets bullied and hands put on them and your child defends themselves, well they pay the price for it more than the student or students doing the bullying. The teachers don't include a parent, your child is not safe and they don't support your child with being bullied. Their treated like their the cause. Explains why they have reviews turned off on their website. At one time this was a good school, but that was a long time ago.

Great experience with my middle schooler! Great teachers who care about the whole child.

Two kids, one pandemic. This has been a great school for my children. They have loved every single one of their teachers over the last 5 years.The communication between the school and parents is good and consistant.There has been a few different principals through the years, but I’ve appreciate our last two ones the most.Homework has varied greatly both depending on teachers and the pandemic, which made it hard to build a good habits.The school counselor is amazing in developing their SEL skills, following up with IEP for our friend’s kids, and supporting family.The environment is very safe.PTO is involved and organizes multiple things every year.Kids can participate in different programs such as battle of the books, student council, flag team, math count, etc. Most are during school hours.A few things that haven’t met my expectations: kids are still getting candy rewards in most classes.When we dealt with the pandemic and virtual school, my kids were introduced to adult YouTube with 0 efforts from Buncombe County Schools to make it safe/add free for them.

This along with Enka Middle and High school. Don't care a thing about your child being bullied The schools go after the kid being bullied having others put their hands on them, But the kid getting done this way gets treated WRONG. BCS are terrible!!
