This seems like a school where the staff really cares about the students. I have no concerns about my daughter’s progress thus far.

Very positive. Two children have either attended, or are attending currently. We have been very active in the PTO and other activities which give us a more in depth understanding of curriculum and processes.

Average, we've been a part of many school systems, we purchased our home in Waxhaw due to the Union county reputation, this school is just not as good as we expected it would be.

My child has been bullied at your school for 2 years now. Today he stuck up for himself. Well know his fate tomorrow. But, if the problem was taken care of the many times it was as brought to administrators attention, he wouldn't of had to stick up for him self. This is twice he's been assaulted on a bus..... Let's fix the problem before it becomes a bigger problem....

Please invent a better IEP program for kids who are struggling. We give our opinions, but the school never listens to our concerns. I think all public schools are terrible. Teachers don't spend enough time with students who need extra help. The teachers just put them in a corner and carry on with the other kids who are on track for their grade level.I wish Union County would bulid a school just for kids who need help or are behind grade level to provide extra assistance.

Compassionate and caring. Learning is of prime importance. Aftercare is available as well as girls' track, boys' athletics, chess club, and Good News Club. Each child is cared for individually and helped along his/her road to success. The staff tries to work with parents to bring out the best in their child.

Great school with caring teachers and staff. My son has learned so much these past three years, I can't wait to see what this year holds. Dedicated teachers willing to spend the extra time to make sure they learn it and not just memorize it. Administration is visible and involved with kids and parents. Great place!

Not happy at all! The "phase in" Kindergarten program was a disorganized mess. Some teachers are burned out and some should be forced to retire. Carpool line in AM & PM is a nightmare!. Parental suggestions made to staff are brushed off and /or ignored. Moved my children elsewhere and now they are much happier and learning more!

Waxhaw is a 2010-2011 school of distinction:-) Teachers care so much about the students. I agree that the PTA needs more parental involvement. School is doing a great job.
