After touring many schools across Wake County, we decided two years ago to relocate our family to Cary in order to attend DDE. Happy to report that the school does not disappoint! It is worth noting that we have 3 children at DDE, 2 with autism (one in a Gen Ed classroom and another in ECS). While e
Posted by a parent on 8/27/2025WORST for students with Autism. if your child has a disability , stay away from this school. Special education staff is not capable of teaching autistic students. Be careful if your child has difficulty communicating as most teachers and admin lack integrity and falsify information.In our last year
Posted by a parent on 11/25/2024A child's success in education heavily relies on several factors. Feeling safe, being heard and understood, being encouraged, keeping them engaged and challenged are all essential for them to thrive. I feel that these ideals are embraced at Davis Drive. Part of a child's success depends on the commu
Posted by a parent on 11/19/2023Stay far away from this school if your child needs any support. The administration and special education staff are awful. They do not care to support autistic and other neurodiverse children. They will offer you little support and blame your child for failing. They believe that when an autistic chil

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter joined this school 2 years ago, when she was at the first grade. She loves the teachers and the school itself. Very safe place. She needed to take ESL classes (English as a second language) which was very efficient for her. Lot of activities with the parents, PTA is doing a good job there. Happy to have my kids attending this school.Parent Review8mo ago - Green Hope Elementary

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchool is not good, the assistant principal is unfriendly, especially for the older kids. They improperly deal with those with special needs, never excited about school, only recess is good and some of the teachers are unfriendly. They had not given us a shirt we bought and probably frustrates a lot of students.Other Review3mo ago - Salem Elementary

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe feel fortunate that our son attends our neighborhood elementary school. It’s a nurturing and inclusive environment that prioritizes socio-emotional learning. The teachers and staff are very attentive and compassionate, helping students grow not only academically but also in confidence, empathy, and resilience. The carpool line is impressively organized, making drop-offs and pick-ups smooth and stress-free. We also love the community-building events like movie nights and fall festival. TOur son has a mild peanut allergy, and the cafeteria manager has been incredibly proactive and communicative. The school communicates well with parents and is genuinely receptive to feedback, which we truly appreciate.Parent Review6mo ago - Turner Creek Elementary

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have seen this school go from a 6 rating to a 9 rating and it has been a fantastic experience. My son loves the school and his teacher, and there is a lot of parent involvement. He only has 15 kids in his class which is a great size and we have become friends with the parents of some of his classmates. The principal, Mrs Lovett, is extremely hardworking and very accessible. We love the year-round schedule, and all the kids seem to be really thriving. This school has definitely changed my opinion about public school, that is for sure! I really don't have much to complain about and we are very thankful our son can attend Laurel Park.Parent Review6mo ago - St. Michael The Archangel Catholic School
