I don't really get the complaints about AIG at this school. Both my kids are dual-identified and had positive experiences at Ligon overall (some teacher turnover-- endemic in a state that pays teachers so poorly, not just a Ligon problem). If your child excels in math, they will be in a high-level m
Posted by a parent on 3/15/2024Ligon has continued to be an overall disappointing experience for us with our child who is in 7th grade now. While there are some incredible teachers (including Mr. Wilson in Math, Mr. Huisking in Social Studies, and Mrs. Camarero in Spanish), the administration seems to have very little investment
Posted by a parent on 2/22/2023I don't know where to start with my dislikes of this school. The AIG program is terrible, many teachers do nothing to help bullying and harassment, the 6th grade counselor basically told my mother that lots of kids (she implied me as well) were faking mental health issues for attention. The school w
Posted by a student on 11/2/2022Ligon unfortunately stopped offering the AIG core classes that they had offered for years to qualifying students and instead incorporated all students (except for those who are at a remedial level) into the core classes. They did this during COVID and did not communicate this to current or prospecti
Posted by a parent on 5/10/2022Ligon is a great school. Ligon has all of the electives, The great teachers, and a amazing community. If you are looking at Magnet Schools in Wake County, Please consider Ligon as an option and take a tour! You won't regret it.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe switched schools to come here in 2nd grade and I'll just quote my almost 8 year old - "Hunter is the best school on the east coast!" He is a nerd and he has found his nerdy people! The electives are incredible, the teachers are incredible, and everyone is just so kind and normal and excited to be there. He goes to school happy and comes home happy. I couldn't ask for a better school for him and I'm thrilled to be a part of such a special place.Parent Review2mo ago - Poe Elementary

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school's biggest advantage is it's GT/AIG program and the variety of electives it provides to enrich the kid's forte including but not limiting to ELA/MATH AIG courses, Orchestra, Choir, Dance ensembles, Art to name a few. Most teachers are very supportive to the kid's needs and they work as a community for the betterment of the kids. The parent involvement is awesome and the school welcomes ideas/inputs from parents to a great extent.Parent Review1y ago - Sacred Heart Cathedral School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have really enjoyed sending our daughter to school here for the first couple of years. Our son is now getting ready to join her for K. I love the small community aspect and the staff/teachers all seem to really enjoy their jobs and have positive relationships with the kids. The learning is rigorous but they also have fun with field trips, playing outside, and plenty of other family orientated activities, as well. We enjoy the volunteer opportunities for the school, local community, and global partners. You don't have to be Catholic to attend here.Parent Review9mo ago - Southeast Raleigh Elementary
