Steel Creek Elementary is a great school. I'm really enjoying this school year at this school…read more This is our first year here and some of the highlights are it's no uniform, each student get free breakfast and lunch and the administration is amazing. The PTSO is very involved and has a load of programs and activities. One down side is the car pool line. It's huge!!!! You may have made it to the school on time but the wait to actually drop your kid off at the door will have them late. I'm glad the school recognizes this and is kinda lax with tardies. Overall I'm very impressed with the school and hope we continue to have a great school year. Steele Creek Elementary 4100 Gallant Ln Charlotte, NC 28273 2017/2018 School year

My daughter went to this academy and I am very upset with the quality of care we received. First…read moreshe had to miss a whole week of school because our Drs office filled out the wrong physical form. Although she had her physical and everything was turned in, because the paper was the wrong color, she was unable to return for a whole week. In which they still charged her tuition for that week. Then they fed her pork for lunch and when I addressed my concerns they said it was a typo and they don't serve pork, but how can you mistype pork for Turkey or chicken? Even after all this we decided to allow our daughter to go back because we wanted her to be around other children her age. However, due to the lack of care and customer service we pulled our child from this establishment. This place is horrible and I will never recommend anyone bring their child here. To make matters worse. They still charged us for another two weeks of tuition because we pulled her out one day after the new period began! Unbelievable!!! For such an establishment to charge so much, they work overtime to steal your hard earned money any chance they get.

Warning for Parents Considering WGCS As a parent, I feel compelled to share my experience with WGCS…read morein the hope that it helps others make an informed decision. From my perspective, the leadership at the school, particularly the owner, Kyle Boyd, demonstrated a style that felt rigid and, at times, difficult to work with. I felt that communication lacked transparency, and it seemed to me that decisions were often made without considering the well-being of the students and their families. My child entered WGCS as a mild-mannered, enthusiastic student. However, during our time there, I noticed significant changes in his demeanor that concerned me. I also had questions about the academic curriculum. Despite the school's claims of offering an advanced curriculum, in my opinion, it did not meet South Carolina's academic standards. I observed that extra credit was frequently used to raise students' grades, which left me concerned about the consistency and rigor of grading practices. Also, I felt as if communications between teachers and parents were lacking or non-existent; especially in Math. Athletics were another point of concern. While the school promotes its commitment to offering several athletic programs, in my experience, there was no on-site gymnasium, and the off-site facility used did not feel particularly safe or appropriate for school sports (and it is across town). Additionally, I found the handling of my son's attempt to play public school sports troubling. I felt that WGCS staff misrepresented facts in a way that ultimately harmed his opportunity. Thank GOD for AAU sports, which more than prepared him to play next year. What the devil meant for evil, GOD turned it around for his good! Spiritually and culturally, I had hoped for a community that uplifted and embraced Christian values such as honesty, fairness, and love. Unfortunately, I did not feel that those values were consistently demonstrated here. As a parent of a minority child, I also observed what I perceived as a lack of inclusion, particularly in how students were recognized during school awards. In our time at the school, I did not see any minority student receive certain awards that are meant to reflect strong Christian character. It's very difficult for me to write this, and I waited until the end of the school year to do so because I did not want my son to face any retaliation. Due to our negative experience, I cannot recommend WGCS until serious meaningful changes are made.

Tried to register my nibbling here and I met the Receptionist and Principal. They assisted me in my…read moreregistration journey and got me going in the right direction. I had to be pretty persistent with them because I was going off information from our previous school and sometimes things get lost in transferring. The information I had wasn't the most accurate but I think my persistence helped in getting the ball rolling. I didn't see much of the school but it overall seems like a great school and I heard great things about it. I would have loved for my nibbling to go there but we were placed at another school.
