Our family has two students at this school and have had a fantastic experience! The teachers are invested and genuinely care about their students and their success. The administrators are involved, positive, and supportive. The students at this school are overwhelmingly respectful and kind, and the culture set by the staff further ingrains that. One of our children is advanced and needs to be consistently challenged, we have been far happier with the diversified learning opportunities provided by teachers here compared to our previous experience at a popular charter school. We would recommend this school to any family!

Great School! Teachers and staff are fabulous. Small class size is a huge benefit.

Love McCrary Elementary School. The teachers are excellent and the classes are small where children receive lots of individual attention. The smallest elementary school in Asheboro City. Our child transferred from a private school and we are very pleased with the education and support from the staff.

Our son (& our family) are so happy with McCrary! Principal Brady & every teacher we have met exude enthusiasm and a passion for their work. In preparing for a new school, we asked several thorough questions to his seasoned teacher, who had excellent responses for each. They strive to meet the needs of students no matter where they fall on the spectrum, and provide a warm and welcoming classroom atmosphere. We love the small class sizes compared to other schools, and are so glad we made the choice for our son to attend.

Love McCrary! Such a loving school with great teachers, students and parents. Classes are small compared to other schools in the area and teachers are very seasoned and always looking to challenge your child.

I would never recommend this school. Lots of bullying and singling children out. If you want your child to go to a good school I would not go there.

When a teacher singles out children and tells them they need to learn Spanish and play soccer or they will never make it here. Something is definitely wrong with this school, The children she said it to are not Spanish and that is an uncalled for comment and should not be made by this teacher among other inappropriate comments made to students by this teacher

The school it totally focused on testing, how to take tests, and the children spent time testing tests. It good be a great school but it lacks educational leadership and vision.

I love the teachers so far. They are wonderful with my grandbaby. They really teach the kids who enjoy and want to learn. The teachers my gb had so far has been outstanding. She's in the 1st grade now, she doing good. My gb is sharing with me that she having problems with one student and there can be more, but this student live in the community. I can and will have a parents conference if the problem become out of control and stop my gb from learning it will need to be handle at home. Parent to parent conference! same community. There is a way to handle those problems by meeting with the parent/parents and speak with authority and 0% tolarence

This school is horrible. I would never send another child to this school. The school is overcrowded with spanish speaking students and the teachers are extremely overwhelmed by the diversity of language and language barriers. Their bully policy is terrible and the principal is not active in the ability to maintain and stop the bullying. The school buses are terrible for any child to ride on and when the school is alerted of the situations, they are quick to place blame everywhere else or do nothing at all about the problem. I think the teachers are great but I think the overall school is terrible. Unless they clean out the riff raff, I would recommend that any parent reconsider this school. Their ratings are terrible and their policies are worse. I am not just a disgruntled parent, I am a parent of a child who was bullied so badly I had to changed schools and 5 other parents did the same.
