Acton Academy Durham

We are very thankful for the wonderful teachers, the great leadership of Pearsontown Elementary! Pearsontown provides an exceptional learning environment with dedicated teachers who genuinely care about student success. The curriculum is robust and the staff demonstrates a commitment to individual student growth! Our boys love spending their time in this school, learning and enjoying every moment of their educational journey.

Our family toured many schools before moving to Durham and we were immediately impressed with the warmth and transparency that met us at Southwest. Many years later, we are more impressed than when we started. As our family begins graduating away from Southwest we are thankful for academically and emotionally strong children built in partnership with Southwest, lasting family friends and an elementary school experience that has left us seen and heard as parents. Southwest for helped my neurodivergent child thrive, and didn’t give up on my other child with dyslexia. As parents we were welcomed to attend field trips, class celebrations and walk our kids to class every morning before the pledge. As a bi-cultural family, we were drawn to the wide racial and cultural representation at Southwest and have loved seeing school wide celebrations like parades and talent shows for Hispanic heritage month and black history month. Thank you teachers for growing my children, responding when I reach out, and truly caring for my kids. Mr. Rotosky, Ms. Fuga and Ms. Flores, I see that you know my kids by name, are approachable and engaged, and set a culture of high expectations and high celebration. We love Southwest!

Since coming to Creekside, I have not needed to look any further to be satisfied with my work environment. Teachers work together to facilitate the best learning experiances possible and support students needs and abilities. The administration is personally and professionally supportive as well. Creekside serves a very diverse body of students and is very sensitive and supportive to cultural differnces and needs. It's easy to go to work when you love what you do! Creekside offers a positive environment where I feel valued. It makes a big difference in both daily interactions and in the long term vision for your work.

We have been at MCS for 7+ years, and are very happy! Great curriculum, teachers/staff, gorgeous campus. Our kids are thriving.
