While the school isn't that great quality-wise, the teachers are usually not there for the money and are there to help. Also, the lack of bullying here is amazing especially since I was constantly bullied for having Autism back in Northern Guilford Middle.

I went to this school and I have intentionally made sure that my children will NEVER attend this school..I refuse to move anywhere near this district! I watched kids beat and bully other kids when I attended! I seen a boy have his head pounded into the concrete at the bus lot by another boy. The teacher of my math class refused to teach the class because of disruptive kids in class. He did not send them out he just failed everyone including the ones who wanted to learn! The principal did not care! This school needs to have police officers walking the halls constantly! HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SCHOOL! For your kids safety I would not send them here look anywhere but here!

My school is Cummings High School. I have taught there for over ten years. I have my master's degree in teaching and National Board Certification. You will find treasure in the staff of this school!!!! Each and every teacher wants to be at this school and they are there to see that each student is successful!!! As many principals have come and gone, you will find that the teachers here have interviewed multiple times for their positions. You will not find a more qualified or caring staff anywhere in the state.

Cummings High School was the best place for my children. This school allows children to be children. This school supports each and every child that walks through the door no matter the socioeconomic status. My children were at Graham High and prejudice there was just to high. Teacher at Cummings are willing to work with parents. Administration seem concern when a parent and a teacher has a difference of opinion. They work to try and solve the problem. Many people talk about the gang and drug at Cummings School but have you went and seen the school for yourself. I am sure it is there but no more than the other area high schools. This year alone 36 seniors were able to obtain over 2 million dollars in scholarships. Yes, I believe Cummings is second to none. I would challenge those that don't believe to go and observe the school when school is in session and watch how caring goes on this school from staff, students and volunteers.
