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.

great teachers and staff. I love that the send books home with the students for summer reading and they pick one book the whole school reads together during a month.

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.
