North Fayette Elementary School

Horrible!!! Would not recommend at all!!! Especially not for kids with special needs. Horrible, horrible, horrible! I told the principal I would report to the board and her response was “all they are going to do is call me and ask me what happened” like what!!!!?

Solid Rock Academy is a good school. They have programs like the Black History Program to give students an opportunity to show off their talents. That's where alot of the students begin their public speaking, which builds character. They do black history daily so the students can learn about their history. They have devotion every morning, where the students hug someone before they go to class, I think that's great most kids walk out the door without a hug from anyone. Before devotion is finished, they always provide a motivational phrase to encourage and make the atmosphere positive. Uniforms are worn so that everyone looks the same, that reduces bullying because most students are picked on because if what they have on but everyone there looks the same. They do have field trips, which helps the students bond, that also decreases bullying. The field trips are educational and the students learn alot. The classroom atmosphere is pleasant especially when the students are learning. My child enjoyed her stay there, the Science Fair projects prepared her for a of the projects she had to do in Public School. The programs helped her give a great audition for the drama team. She had confidence when she left so when she did go to public school she knew what she could do and had already mamlde life long friends. She was able to spell and read because of the strong phonetics she got from Solid Rock. She could write papers and research because she learned it there. She missed the food because at Solid Rock nothing was processed everything was fresh. Overall Solid Rock is a good school it's like most schools, it's what you make of it. You do have to follow rules something most kids can't do not do now. You can't curse the teacher or disrupt the learning process, slip out a door skip class or any of that because they are ways in the hallls looking. I'm glad I picked the school it gave my child a good foundation.

Both my girls have gone to this school since 1 years old and they love it. It is an extension of my family. As a parent, I get involved and support the teachers and love everything about it. The Christian environment is top notch. Highly recommend!

If you love your children don't send your children here. Horrible!!!!!!!!! I switched my child out and I'm so pleased now. Teachers are awful and the office has very bad attitudes. I think they need to shut this school down.

Counterpane is a very special school. It doesn't take very long for one to realize this. The environment is welcoming for kids, and invites them to learn, explore and play in a self directed way. Their approach is unique, and as a parent building technology for the future of work I wouldn't want my child anywhere else. The level of independence, discipline, hands-on and self-directed learning they provide is exactly what would be critical for a future where simply knowing wouldn't be enough. One where critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and self responsibility would separate those who succeed from those who do not. I don't know any other school in the area that comes close in these aspects. My four year absolutely loves the school, and thanks to their Souns program, he is already a confident reader.This is not a conventional school. Their approach is different but it's effective. They make some conscious tradeoffs and ask a bit from parents, in my view. Most of the parents here are like minded in what they want for their kids. The staffs are friendly, dedicated and diverse.They offer an opportunity for parents to experience the school as a child and it's a great way to see first hand how they do what they do. There is no better school to start your kid in the Fayetetville area.
