Community Reviews
I have been going to Providence for years, so this review is based on my own experience. The staff is very inconsistent. Some teachers genuinely love teaching and care about their students, while others seem to hate their jobs and barely teach.The clubs and extracurriculars are one of the school's b
Posted by a student on 8/18/2026I try to talk about how I’m been bullying and harassing by this 2 kids school and they didn’t do anything about it.
Posted by a community member on 5/17/2026I’ve been volunteering in K–12 schools in the area for a while and am very familiar with the various options available. Providence High School is one of the finest public schools in the greater Charlotte area. The teachers are genuinely experienced, and the school maintains a somewhat strict environ

Posted by a parent on 4/18/2026The school is rated highly because they care about high test scores. Nothing more. If you have an over achieving child it’s a good school for you. If your child is an average kid they will be tossed aside. Please beware. My kids were, on average, A-/B+ students. This school only cares about students

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe early Montessori school application process is a joke. There were no details or criteria of the selection process, no wait-listing details, or standards for acceptance. I was told applications were reviewed, and the best fits for the program were selected. I asked for feedback a few times on the selection process and was told the school is just too busy to provide details, and was assured that the best children who fit our program were offered spots. Was it the applications, in-person interviews, recommendation letter, ect.? What was the criteria or grading system used to offer spot? No further details were given, which was a shame. Not very assuring! The early school program felt very exclusive, and it feels like the head school master of the early school program is gatekeeping. Proceed with caution.Other Review2mo ago - Covenant Day School
