Western Alamance High

Would not recommend this school at all. It’s like dealing with high school cliques from the students to the staff. Bullying is allowed even though they preach it doesn’t. If your child reports bullying, it gets worse for them and nothing but verbal reprimands are done to the bullies, even if it goes on for years. They are very behind in their curriculum. AIG programs are a joke. Had to get a tutor to get my child caught up at the new school they attend regarding math, science and history.

We moved from a neighboring county and have been disappointed in our local school experience. It’s mediocre at best if you have an average student. If you have an above average student, don’t expect any challenge or enrichment unless they are in the AIG program, which isn’t until upper grades. If you have a below average child, run the other way. Communication varies depending upon the teacher but no across the board expectation, which is drastically different than what we are used to. Overall, a lot of things behind the scenes are hush hush and that breaks trust with families. There’s some phenomenal teachers and some not so great but I guess most schools are like that. We do like the diversity and the PTO is great.

Clover Garden is a great school for non neurodivergent kids. However, if your child needs special education services, I strongly recommend looking at other schooling options. There is not an onsite EC Coordinator and the person who oversees the process works for a large number of charter schools. Elementary school was okay for our son, but he very much lack support and effective communication from teachers when he entered middle school.
