    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.

    We've loved our time in the St. David's lower school so far. The teachers have been warm and caring…read moreand our kids have a blast at the big events like the back to school picnic and field day. The principal has been amazing, always encouraging the kids and so open to having us come in and talk about any concerns even if it's something small. I like that there's tons of natural light in the classrooms and the wiggle chairs are really cool. Looking forward to many more years at this wonderful school!

    I am the proud father of a special needs child. He attended Ravenscroft for 6 months. I got a call…read morefrom the school saying my child had wet himself. He is almost non verbal; so it took me to the next day to get him to talk to me about it. Apparently the teacher made him set outside in the 90 degree heat until he used the bathroom on himself. He was upset because he had to use the bathroom. This is all my lawyer said I could disclose, and their is MUCH more.

    I went here to buy a Bus off of the Maintenance department, and when I arrived there were two young…read moregirls sitting on a golf cart waiting on me. One was their "notary". It felt like I wan in trouble or in the "office" in school it was weird. They said here is a list of everything that is wrong with it. I told them I was gonna use it to go across the country bc I am homeless going through a divorce. I did not go on my gut bc they were so professional, they could have wrote that bus off on their taxes, but instead they stole my whole savings, every dime. The guy that sold it to me had gold rings looking like a 100 dollar pimp. The money was for those young girls I was talking about at the beginning. The dash had been replaced with a newer one, but I got the computer to show me the real odometer reading, it was over 300, 000 miles, but the dash was showing 111,000 miles. They knew I would not make it back to WV from NC, and the lemon laws in NC are only for new cars. 6814725579 for more info. I donated the bus to a girl in Virginia working at an EXXON, lol. told her to scrap it. I did not even get home to work on it. UwU

    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.

    This is my children's first year at Magellan and it has been a wonderful experience. The school…read morechallenges them to think differently and to learn in non standard ways. 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.

    Magellan is a wonderful school serving grades 3-8. You get in by lottery only, so your best…read morechances for entry is 3rd grade. 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.

    I had to write this review when, after repeated attempts at check-ins, I realised my kids' school…read morewasn't even listed on Yelp as an elementary school! I believe the school was named for Emma Conn, but for the past several years the school has been the ONLY magnet school in Wake County offering the Active Learning and Technology program. As a parent, obviously I put a lot of thought into which school I wanted my kids to attend. The recent Wake County school board controversy really made me shy away from the public schools; I knew I was interested in a magnet program. My husband and I have been looking to buy a house also, so knowing we were moving (possibly from one school district to another) was also an incentive for magnet schools- my kids would be able to attend the same school from K-5th grade! As a kid who attended 3 elementary schools myself, that really spoke to me. More importantly, I can vouch that the Conn system really works. Today, I had my kindergarten son's 3rd quarter parent-teacher conference. Prior to him enrolling in school, I was concerned, because like a lot of little boys, he had trouble sitting still, listening, being attentive for long periods of time. I don't know if it was his wonderful teacher Ms. Christie, or the syllabus that includes time for dance, drama, PE, and arts in addition to the reading/writing/arithmetic basics, but I literally nearly teared up as she laid out for us a sample of his free-period writing from 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarter. My son has made insane progress this year, moving from a kid who was proud to know his alphabet, to a kid who can write multiple sentences without any adult input at all. The "technology" and "active" part of the curriculum aren't just buzzwords, either. Whether it's the interactive "smart tables" the school is placing in kindergarten classrooms, or that strawberry "learning module"/fundraiser they recently held (an educational trip to the berry farm followed by sales of baggies of regular and chocolate-dipped strawberries), the school not only keeps kids motivated and interested in learning, but helps parents feel involved as well. I'm a technology-minded person myself, and I HATE being sent home random slips of paper that will inevitably end up lost in my kid's bookbag or in the dredges of my car's backseat, so I also appreciate principal Diane Kearney's weekly pre-recorded phone calls full of the latest school news! Try relying on your 6-year-old for important data and you would appreciate it also! Tonight we had Kindergarten Orientation for my youngest, who will hopefully benefit from the same great teachers Jack had, but regardless will benefit from Conn's innovative magnet approach. I felt stressed at the time of choosing a school to apply for, and I felt stressed we wouldn't be chosen after submitting my application, but ever since my kids started attending Conn, I have never once been stressed about their safety, happiness, or education. That's about the highest praise I can give. Keep it up Conn!!
