This is Ashley Park Elementary/Middle school…read more They care but watch out for the Counselor with the braces - she likes to gossip and so does the Police officer/School resource officer. Ms. Barker at the front desk is personable and everyone knows these kids by name and situations. They're not just "on the clock" they are trying to build something. Took a while to meet the Principal but in the end she seems like a good fit for the place.

I enjoyed meeting some of the staff members at West Mecklenburg High School. My visit was prompted…read moreby a Toastmasters demonstration meeting. The meeting was fun and participation was great. The teachers are hoping to begin a Toastmasters club in conjunction with a Gavel Club for the students. One of the goals is to engage the family members of the students to promote better communication and leadership for all!

Northwest is a very unique school, I will always be thankful for the diverse friends I have made…read moreand the learning I have done over the years. The faculty is a bit polarized, meaning we have some faculty members that are always available, very qualified, reliable, etc and some of them that won't even show up. But even when the teachers don't show up, Northwest makes sure that you get what you need to learn and live. For instance, this year my AP Lit teacher has not shown up all year, but Northwest has set us up with an NCVPS class, an upstanding English teacher that helps facilitate work with us even though it's not really her job, and the principle herself came and talked to us about how this class was gonna get done, addressed our concerns, and told us how they were gonna help. There are definitely faults at Northwest, but I wouldn't regret any of my time spent there.

This school is a surprise. It's the only traditional high school in CMS to rank in the top 5…read moreacademically but not be located in the suburbs. It has exceptional academics in most areas, particularly in the arts, social studies, and foreign languages to name a few. It has at least 3-4 lead teachers, the highest level of teaching leadership in the district. It is also the first high school in the nation to have a drama teacher win a Tony Award when the respected teacher, Corey Mitchell won. The student population is the most evenly mixed in the district with a well blended population. The new principal brings a great deal of organization and energy, building on the work done by Melody Sears. It has a low turnover rate, a high graduation rate and one of the best discipline records in the district. All in all, 5 stars.

I am big fan of Oalawn:…read more 1. It is a relatively small school. Right now it has K-7 and will be K-8 next year, but it is still a small school. 2. A new principal is on board, Carmen Concepcion. 3. A new vice principal is also on board, Toyia Matthews. Although I miss Mr. Tampa tremendously! Lots of new things are happening at Oaklawn. However, I would prefer the language immersion be 100% vs. 50%. I have weighed the batte and am moving forward!

While this charter school once was renowned for high scores it is currently transitioning its focus from academics to a more political based school. Funds, many which come from parents donations, are being spent on unnecessary hires. It is sad to see the downfall of what was once one of Charlotte's finest. But as they say, all good things come to an end. If looking for a charter school, please look at other options or even public schools at this point.

A hidden gem in Charlotte with great educators, small classrooms and a close knit environment for…read morekids. My son attended the TK(transitional kindergarten) program which is mostly 5 year olds with late birthdays that miss the CMS cutoff for kindergarten and he really loved it and learned so much within the school year. The classroom consisted of 12-15 students with a teacher and assistant with a very structured curriculum, uniform dress and chapel attendance mid week. The tuition is very affordable, if you don't want to send a lunch daily they provide lunch for an additional fee. The school has TK-8th grade and is growing yearly. My only concern is the after school program which is not very structured and when dealing with 5 year olds structure is very important, so if you have smaller kids attending, I would advise finding an alternative for after school care.

From the moment we went to Open House and visited the campus, we knew this was the best school for our son. We are so thankful to have found Back Creek. Not only do students learn facts, both academic and spiritual, they also learn how to defend their beliefs - which is so important in our society today! Every teacher has been so caring and wonderful. We thank God daily for Back Creek Christian Academy and the opportunity to have our son in such a wonderful school!
