7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI spent all 4 years at this high school, and my experience is kind of iffy. Yes, there were some good teachers, but other teachers at this school were horrible. The teacher's use some of the same methods of teaching that were used during the covid years, just showing videos and not explaining or going over what was learned. The environment is not welcoming and fights happen every week at the school, providing an unsafe environment for students there actually trying to learn. The school also only prepares you for college if you are staying in-state, if you're planning on going to an out of state school, nobody is going to help you. The school will also prioritize the students doing well in classes and not give an equal opportunity to students having problems learning, some teachers only teaching in a way that is made to help certain types of students learn (like type a learners). In addition to the horrible education at this school, the funding for programs goes mainly to athletics, leaving little to no money for other programs. Overall, I would not recommend a parent looking to send their child to this school unless they are looking to emotionally traumatize them.Other Review2y ago - Wake Forest Middle School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNorth Forest Pines is a fabulous year-round elementary school. The teachers and administration are experienced, compassionate, and enjoy being there. We have two kids there, one of which is moving on to middle school, and have no complaints.Parent Review1y ago
