Green Hope High

The best school in Wake County. The best principal in Wake County.! The best overall school program in Wake County. You will not find a better school thatoffers opportunities for all students.

If your child has any type of disability RUN!!! They will not accommodate students with 504’s. The previous administration was wonderful, the current administration doesn’t care. My daughter who has arthritis and severe anxiety was told to toughen up. I was asked why not just “get her a wheelchair”, a counselor told me “maybe it’s better she be hospitalized that way she can get in to see the specialist sooner”. She was granted home bound for a time, which they advised since she was a honors student she would not have access to her teachers except for “quick questions”. Needless to say I pulled my daughter out mid year and registered her in a virtual learning school. Today, my eldest daughter (a senior) witnessed a parent be denied entry to the school by the principal because of her service dog, which she had documentation for. I have had enough of this school! The teachers don’t care, they are not engaging and are just there to babysit most times. I encourage you to find another alternative for your student. We move around quite a bit and this is, hands down, the worst school and school district we have ever been a part of.

very bad oh yes very bad o

I don't know what is worse about this school. The academics, or the staff. The counselors who are supposed to be helping the students get ready for college, refuse to help the students who ask questions about college readiness and help them explore other programs outside of high school. The teachers assign more homework than in any other school that I have had experience with, forcing my student to quite their extracurriculars to maintain a high GPA. The teachers grade harshly and don't base their grading on how much the students learn, but rather on how well they listen to exact directions. Students are no longer focused on learning the material but rather doing exactly what the teachers want. This is harmful for their futures in college and this teaching system at this school is not setting up the kids for a successful future. The staff clearly does not truly care about students, as they often publicly humiliate students who may have broken a rule, such as dress code, rather than speaking with them in private or giving them a warning. The school is overcrowded to the point that half the students have classes in mods that are about 200 feet from the actual school, where they must walk there and back even in freezing temperatures or heavy rain. I was severely disappointed when I sent my child to this school. I expected teachers that help my children learn and staff that help my children be successful, but rather got immature staff and poor academics. I cannot begin to fully express my discontent with this school, but I hope this partly does it justice.

I have two students who attend here. One is sporty and another is artsy. They both have been able to find their niche & are getting a world class education. One is able to take honors courses, the other gets help with learning obstacles. The teachers are engaged & helpful.
