By far the worst school in Wake County. The principle Mrs.Smith is the WORST ! She’s disgustingly rude, and tries to play stupid after. She has no respect, concern, or anything for the families that leave their children in her care. The bullying in the school is atrocious and vicious, and nothing is

Posted by a parent on 8/28/2025How do you put in words how much this school has changed in the past several years ... our first year there was great!

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was briefly a kindergarten teacher at the school. I was very impressed with the overall behavior of the students. The kindergarten class I had was awesome. My parents held their child accountable for their actions. They gave no excuses and fixed the behavior. I was always supported by my parents. I wish all parents were as supportive as these parents.Other Review2mo ago - Vandora Springs Elementary

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth of my children have enjoyed their time at Timber! Some of our favorite things about being a Timberwolf are school pride, family involvement, and especially the fun traditions they carry on each year - Teddy Bear parade, Howlabration, Dancefest, Specialist Night, just to name a few. #UniteThePack #HearUsHowl #OnceATimberwolfAlwaysATimberwolfParent Review5y ago - Oak City Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOak City has been a second home for my children and an extension of our family for the past 7 years. Each teacher and staff member is incredible and committed to leading children to Jesus while the whole child grows and develops into who God has made them to be. Incredible education proven by well above grade level test results. This is a place where children thrive and love to learn!Parent Review2y ago - Oak City Academy
