Good school. Ofcourse ratings fluctuate. Have had some teachers that are better with my child than others. I will say that some scores may be down because of the large influx of ESL students. I firmly believe in no standardized testing before 3 Rd or 4 th grade. And my child is so good at math and r

Our child loves the school. Communication is usually good and the course work is challenging. Current teacher is not as good as last years. A younger teacher this year who seems a bit snippy and dramatic. I see the lack of maturity in a younger teacher as the issue here. Overall, it's a wonderful sc

The principal and most staff are excellent, committed and caring. Facilities are good quality, but crowded. There is a subset of staff who have no business teaching, is "just a job" to them, but thankfully, they seem to be a minority. I wish they would raise standards across the board. The extreme c

This school used to have a poor rating. For the past two years, it has made AYP, even with challenges such as spanish speaking students and a high percentage of kids with special needs. The teachers care and the principals listen. They are a lot more professional than they used to be. I don't know w

Horrible School!!!!!!! It may have been great, at one time, but as of now .it's NOT the place you want your kids to be! The school is full of sad, negative, angry, stressed out staff members. They are always yelling and ordering the kids around. They have NO respect for the children, so the children

We are recent transplants from the West Coast and I must say this school has been amazing, especially considering Covid 19 and the many challenges faced by schools over the past year. The teachers at this school truly care about the students and the communication is incredible! I lived in a great neighborhood in our last area and the school system was pretty bad. My child was accepted to a charter school and it was still horrible. No communication at all and they did not care about the students or the parents at all and this is the complete opposite. Mrs. Simmons is awesome and gets any questions you may have answered and resolved very quickly. The VP even called me (father) personally to introduce herself and let me know my daughter was missing one single assignment!! I seriously couldn’t believe it.. Since enrolling at this school my daughter has flourished and she’s excited about learning again! This school is on par with expensive private schools in other cities. The sports program seems very well organized and fun!! Every single person from the front desk all the way up to the Principal seems to take a great amount of pride in giving a true education to the kids. I was surprised to hear my daughter talking about some of the things they are learning at the 7th grade level and if this is indicative of the Dare County School System I have absolutely no doubt that she will be well prepared to attend a good University with a great success! If you’re questioning the school here in relation to a proposed relocation, don’t worry at all. They made or transition from across the country a very nice experience. They are doing an amazing job here and I’m proud to have a student at this school! Go Braves!!!
