This school needs to “clean house” starting with ALL front office staff! Next “special” education teachers.
Posted by a parent on 1/20/2025Performed below WCPSS average in 11/12 academic categories, failing to meet growth expectations in each reported year since 2019 with a “C” rating.1/5 teachers being identified as “needing improvement”. 25+ kids in most classes.Bullying reports intentionally not filed & misrepresented for 4 years.

Posted by a parent on 2/28/2024I have to agree with a previous parent's post. This school has gone downhill in the last 5 years. As someone else mentioned, "repetitive bullying, gang activity, bathroom fights in elementary school. 30+ kids per class, and most tenured teachers have retired". Everything is "handled internally" and
Posted by a parent on 2/28/2024JW York was recently rebuilt and the new facilities are great! This school is at the heart of an older, established neighborhood in Raleigh, NC and adjacent to a nature park! We've had two children attend the school and are very pleased with their academic progress during their time at JW York. The

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy wife and I are retired and our grandchildren have been attending Lynn Road (LRES) for a total of 11 years so far. We volunteer several days a week because we enjoy being a part of the positive and supportive atmosphere at LRES. We tutor math and reading, monitor programs for advanced students, assist students in the library, help with the annual Student Talent Show and the annual Musical Play, and enjoy beautifying the campus with flowers and bushes. The teachers and staff are top notch and truly care about each child and it definitely shows! But the biggest asset is the active PTA and parent involvement. We know most of the parents as well as the kids because of their participation. LRES is truly like one big family. I know there are a lot of other public and private schools in Raleigh, but I guarantee you won’t find a better one than LRES!Other Review2mo ago - Root Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a tight knit community school. I love that children can attend from kindergarten through 8th grade. The small class sizes and STEAM focus allows for more hands-on learning and critical thinking than I've seen in other WCPSS options.Parent Review2mo ago
