We have had nothing but a positive experience at Cornelius! Even with virtual learning they have gone above and beyond to make things easy on students and teachers.

This school is really good, but sometimes if you get in trouble or do something bad, they will get you in too much trouble for what you did. Sometimes i even got in trouble for things i didn't do. But overall most of it is good, its safe, good teaching, I go here and it is great.

Some teachers are good and care, some don’t. Many long term subs. My freshman daughter was able to walk out multiple times, the security needs to be better. Only seniors can park at the school, so others have to park at Bailey Road Park and walk or pay for parking at private homes nearby. The morning car line is awful for the Senior lot because so many people pass the line and make a u turn to come in from the other direction and cause the people from the left to have to wait longer. I did notice police handling that toward the end of the year. Busses pick up nearly an hour before school starts less than 2 miles away. Very large and crowded school. Communication is fair from the school, but there is very little communication from the teachers. My daughter’s English teacher resigned at the end of the 3rd quarter, and there was no communication about this and her replacement to the parents. Guidance counselors are nice, but seem to be too busy to do much to help with your child. Cell phone rules do not seem to be enforced at all except by one teacher my daughter had. Homework Assignments are accepted late, which I know may be an after effect of Covid, but it’s really not teaching the children about deadlines and staying on task. It just seems like the school is very apathetic about everything and spills over for those students that aren’t very motivated. I did have a few phone calls with the new AP Katie Dean and found her to be very kind and helpful.
