I love that there are field trips that are scheduled that help them learn the material and reiterate what was taught in the classroom. Being a parent, we are all involved in our children's success, and I am happy to be there to help volunteer and meet my children's friends and teachers. My sons' teachers are very involved and communicate when they have weaknesses and strengths that we need to work on or continue to enhance. If every year continues to be like this year, I will be more then satisfied with what Magellan has done for my children.

I have never experienced the kindness and genuine desire for your child to be the best like Magellan offers. The staff know who you are if you call. They know your child's name. They give the children incentives to do well in academics and behavior (they use a coupon system that gives them a reward day). They take many USEFUL, engaging field trips. They want the families involved....they have social gatherings for Magellan families frequently throughout the school year. I don't have anything negative to say about this school. My daughter attended a public school in Granville County prior to this, and before the public school, I was homeschooling her. Homeschooling was wonderful because I was able to focus on what she needed and do things at her pace. Public school didn't allow this. However, the staff at Magellan ensure that my child is learning what she should be learning, and they are careful to work with her if she needs extra help. The teachers communicate to parents via email frequently. The school is very clean, and kept very tidy. They have a wonderful system in place. I pray they get a K-2, and 9-12. I don't want my children going anywhere else.

Absolutely unbelievable. This school is the furthest thing from CHRISTIAN. The majority of the…read moreteachers don't teach properly and focus on the complete wrong things. The school is a mess, the rules make no sense. The way they treat the students is genuinely so embarrassing. If you want your child to feel supported or respected, look somewhere else. This school is the last place I would ever recommend. Disgusting.

We sent my gifted black nephew to NRCA. We asked former teachers, families of students, black…read morefamilies of students and we heard negative statements concerning the African American experience here. As a teacher I asked a former NRCA teacher about it, and his words were "It is a good education, but they are not the place for black students." Despite this, we normally know how to navigate those spaces, and most teachers here are actually GREAT. However, they have a science teacher and a coach that has received several complaints for ostracizing students. It's one of the worst experiences I've ever had with an educator. I've never seen ANYTHING like it. We have spoken to administration. Other parents have spoken to administration. They head nod and continue to employ him, knowing he has actively chosen to kill the energy of the students he is called to serve. You don't have to believe me, ask about him. The responses will be the same. Parents agree but duck their heads to avoid rubbing him wrong as he takes it out on kids. I've been a teacher for 15 years and have recommended my sister remove him from this situation as I see how he has affected him. Families of players agree, but I'm okay speaking up, bc someone needs to know. Ronnie Kruger's actions are so egregious, and he alone has caused my nephew such pain, I can't believe a Christian School continues to let him behave this way and not require him to at minimum treat kids with respect and love.

The gym had bleachers although the basketball team staff told us they wouldn't have any. So, there was plenty of seating available for families. The only issue I had was that there was no snack or drink machines there. I know all schools don't have them for their students, but a lot of them that I've been in do. It would've been nice being that they have i9sports games there & there are no concession stands. Parents get parched & hangry being there all day without a little something to wet our whistles & calm our growling stomachs, and we aren't allowed to bring in outside food/drinks.

I'm so grateful my kids have been able to attend this school. Our public school continually got rid…read moreof more and more of the "fun stuff" such as music, art, P.E., etc. but Endeavor prioritizes every aspect of learning including the arts, math, science, language arts, character development, life skills such as organization and turning things in on time. Just like at any school, you won't love every single thing about anywhere but Endeavor gives its families very little to complain about. My only word of caution would be that if your child falls outside the range of "normal" or learning in a traditional way, Endeavor might not be the right fit as it does not have the resources to help those kids but I have seen them taking steps to try to improve in this area and hope in the future they'll be able to be more accommodating. Honestly though, our public school refused to do anything to help my daughter despite her having an obvious need so I have zero faith in any school to spend money/resources on the needs of one child. Overall, this really is the best school in Wake County.

The absolute worst experience of my entire life. This school messed me up. My parents sent me here…read morebecause they wanted me to get into a good college. I only lasted a year and it was for sure the worst year of my life. I developed an anxiety disorder because of this school. Bullying was terrible and one friend of mine texted me years later saying he was so happy I made it out and he made it out too. Absolutely positively not worth the money. Every Tuesday is Chapel (at least when I was there) so the morning is shot. There's prayer before every class. My Latin teacher there told the class the end was near and we better repent. The best thing about the entire place was the Snack Shack (which I don't think is there anymore). There wasn't even a cafeteria just a gym we all ate in separated by a curtain. It is important to note that the instruction or quality of education at this school is not in anyway superior to the of public school. There is just more quantity. So much more quantity. My friends and I all had 8 hours of homework on a regular basis. Maybe less time should be spent on religious stuff and more on in class work so homework isn't piled on. The kids at this school are dangerous. I was assulted. Don't believe that just because it's private there are not drugs. There are more drugs at this school. I ended up going to public middle school and Sanderson high school. I felt the quality of education was the same, and it was free. I did well in public school and I got accepted into UNC Chapel Hill, UNC Greensboro, UNC Pembroke, and WCU. I am doing so much better now. This school was so bad my friend and I say if we made it through this we can make it through anything. Let me reiterate, worst experience of my entire life. Please please please do not send your children here if you care about their happiness or wellbeing. This school will drain it out of them and replace it with religious nonsense. This place is destructive.

Fights pretty much twice a week, pepper spray being sprayed in the hall ways, and students throwing up in first period from drinking so much alcohol before coming to school. The school doesn't work with advanced students. I'm taking advanced classes through the North Carolina School of Science and Math and I have several classes that I could drop to go sit in the library to work on my online classes since many people who have graduated from the online courses have said it is harder than college. The school refuses to, just saying that they can't do it, no reason. My other school would have moved my schedule around so that I could take those classes, but Sanderson doesn't honestly care. They are unorganized and unprofessional. Parents don't ever send your children here unless you want to set them up to fail

They have stuff to hide, or there is…read morenothing good to say about the school... for two years... out of a few hundred people who are parents, staff, or administration. I was unable to get this review to shoe up. I have 3rd party witnessed that the school is lacking greatly. Having said that, I feel it comes from a lack of talent and skill with any child that is not a textbook nuerotypical child. I don't know much about "Montessori" learning, but clearly, the teachers can not explain it to me either. The people I have had opportunity to speak with are kind and do not seem to be acting malevolently, but I feel they are in situations that do not get addressed by the style of learning they train for so any spectrum level gives them struggles. When considering this school, please take into account the actual learning abilities and ways your child takes in information. Then just don't. Pick a wood shed to send your child to, it would be safer and healthier. " Also, the gaslighting they attempted to use on the parents... aweful. Good Luck!
