Mills Park Elementary

School 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.

We 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.

My child has attended for four years. The teachers provide specialized support based on each child's strengths and development areas. There is a strong culture of school spirit and building character.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Hortons Creek elementary school. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that our child was in a nurturing and engaging environment. The teachers are caring and dedicated, the staff is supportive, and the learning environment is both fun and challenging. We’ve seen so much growth and couldn’t be happier.

3rd best school in NC. Great faculty to student ratio

This school has been incredible! From community engagement to supporting our children when they struggle in a subject. We have been at Parkside for 2 years and absolutely love them!
