My daughter attended Carroll Middle School for 6th-8th grade. She was able to take accelerated math classes, join many sports teams, build connections with teachers and make new friends. She enjoyed her experience at Carroll MS and it prepared her well for high school. She just finished her 1st semester of high school and is doing very well!

We’re only in our second year at Douglas but so far are very happy with the quality of staff and overall education. My daughter who’s in first grade absolutely loves going to school every day and gets so excited by the variety of specials the school offers (e.g., dance, drama, music, art, science, etc). Communication with parents is great as well and I always feel in the loop. We are frequently made aware of how our child is doing academically, socially, behaviorally, emotionally, developmentally, etc. Could not be happier with our school family at Douglas!

My daughter is in her 9th grade and doing well at Sanderson HS. Sanderson HS provides many opportunities to get involved with sports and clubs. Her teachers have been positive and helpful. Her coaches have also been encouraging and supportive and provided a lot of guidance as she is just beginning high school. She is being challenged academically and growing socially and athletically!

This school is a terrible choice for parents and students looking for a supportive teachers. Teachers will rarely listen to or try to understand a student's point of view. The administration will ignore many student concerns without any investigation unless parents interfere. Many of the work handed is just busy work and rarely has an impact on student learning. There are some helpful teachers but there are even more cruel teachers. It's incredibly hard to fix grades that a student didn't deserve without parental interference. The courses offered are very restrictive as well.

I have had an amazing experience as a student at this school. This has made me not only ready for college but also the professional world. Throughout my four years here I was able to grow and learn through the help of the incredible students and staff. I can't wait to see what Wake STEM becomes.

While we have had a few bumps getting our boy engaged, the leadership have been great partners with looking at options. This school is a college prep school so there is not an emphasis in the Arts, but more a focus on core curriculum. We love that there are male teachers teaching our boy as they provide examples of strong role models. We love the uniforms!

All teachers are very attentive and helpful especially Principal Baker during this pandemic. We are very lucky to belong to a school who treats the children as their own.
