New Principal of 2023 of Carnage did not give Education Absence even for students representing school. How petty the principal's mindset is?

My daughter has been attending this school since kindergarten & now she’s in 4th. I’ve never had a problem with the school nor teachers. The communication with parents/teachers/staff has always been something I liked. They send out communications through the class dojo or flyers about school events. The 2019-2020 was hard for everyone which was understandable because of COVID-19 & online learning was hard. Luckily my daughter’s teachers (Mr. Cox, Mrs. Pace & Mrs. Caudil) all were very helpful & went beyond to make sure she didn’t fall short. She got a 3 in her math EOG & a 4 in her reading EOG. She’s been in 4th grade for a little over a month now & I am still very happy with the communication from her teachers (Mr. Rhodes & Mrs. Finney). My daughter once had a bullying issue in 2nd grade where an older student told her an indecent comment during carpool. The school notified me & contacted the boy’s mom & my daughter said the next day they had put more teachers in the carpool area to make sure he didn’t bother her. I also like how the school communications are sent out both in English & Spanish so it makes it very helpful to a lot of the Hispanic students & their parents, even teachers know some Spanish.

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.
