As a military family we are required to move frequently, so my children have attended numerous schools and have been successful. Our experience was completely negative at this school from the education, staff, and administration. My children’s education, development, and social skills all suffered greatly from this institution. Thankfully, we have since moved on from here, and they have been able to recover from this experience but only with an exceptional amount of dedication from their new school. A terrible school like this impacts every aspect of a family….I recommend seriously considering letting your child attend here.

Some teachers really go out of their way to get to know your child and help them to succeed, while others have an "I don't care!" attitude and actually mistreat the children. The principal is not easy to contact and usually does not deal with the problem directly.

This school is at the bottom of the barrel. The administrative staff is incompetent, and fails to protect the children, when in danger. My child was threatened by a teacher and it took months before the school reacted, causing my child to be placed in therapy because of the experience. They lack support to the parents, and only support children, if and when they feel like. They do not get back with a concerned parent, you will have to take charge yourself and continue to contact them. The Winston/Salem Forsyth County School Districts grievance policy is an absolute joke. The superintendent and the assistant superintendent cannot speak for themselves, they will just pass you on to their lawyer, over and over again, until you go away, and stay away. Great school as far as most of the teachers, but if you have any problems, and are forced to deal with Mrs. Smith or Mr. Reid, you will not be taken care, but squished, until gone. Might want to think about where you send your children to school!!!!!!

Teaching staff is pretty good but the front office is not. Principal is a moron and has no idea how to talk to people. Student body is below average. If you can send your child to another school do so.

As a parent, I feel the staff is not on one accord. I have had several terrible experiences with the office staff. On numerous occasions I have been given incorrect information. I have also had a teacher lie on my child and when asked about it the story changed. My child likes most of her other teachers and her friends and that is the only reason I have not removed her, yet.
