The school is not what it used to be. there has been a lot of changes that make it a better place for my children in upper grades compared to when they started four years ago.
Posted by a parent on 1/18/20211st and 2nd grade were great for my child. 3rd and 4th grade was awful! My childs scores have gone down. The teacher is very dismissive of not only my child but other kids in the class. I know of multiple parents that are refusing to have their children go there next year. As long as it looks good t
Posted by a community member on 7/16/2016The school is an absolute disappointment to South Raleigh. Especially being a STEM school. My daughter started their when they were first built. Kindergarten and 1st grade were wonderful. Excellent teachers. After 1st grade, it has went downhill. The teachers do not care. They gossip and talk down t
Posted by a parent on 1/20/2016Very disappointed in this school, if the teachers spent more time teaching the kids, then socializing with one another the school would be halfway decent. I wouldn't be so quick to send your child to this school because its, " The new school." My personal experience is the teachers are very dismissi
Posted by a parent on 9/30/2015My child is a kindergarten at Walnut Creek Elementary School and has had a horrific year. The teacher's attendance was the worst I have ever seen of any professional in any profession. There was no consistency and the teacher worked for many weeks without a teacher assistant or support staff in the

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe level of communication between parents and faculty, the encouragement of parent involvement in the education, the security of the campus and the responsiveness of the staff to parental and student concerns have left me with a very positive experience with this school. My child has shown significant improvement in their academic awareness and their desire to keep learning.Parent Review6y ago - Bugg 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 - East Garner Elementary

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been attending this school since kindergarten & now she’s in 4th. I’ve never had a problem with the school nor teachers. The communication with parents/teachers/staff has always been something I liked. They send out communications through the class dojo or flyers about school events. The 2019-2020 was hard for everyone which was understandable because of COVID-19 & online learning was hard. Luckily my daughter’s teachers (Mr. Cox, Mrs. Pace & Mrs. Caudil) all were very helpful & went beyond to make sure she didn’t fall short. She got a 3 in her math EOG & a 4 in her reading EOG. She’s been in 4th grade for a little over a month now & I am still very happy with the communication from her teachers (Mr. Rhodes & Mrs. Finney). My daughter once had a bullying issue in 2nd grade where an older student told her an indecent comment during carpool. The school notified me & contacted the boy’s mom & my daughter said the next day they had put more teachers in the carpool area to make sure he didn’t bother her. I also like how the school communications are sent out both in English & Spanish so it makes it very helpful to a lot of the Hispanic students & their parents, even teachers know some Spanish.Parent Review4y ago - Southeast Raleigh Elementary
