This is my 2nd year the second time around and I can attest that things have totally improved since my daughter was there a few yrs ago. The new principal is visible and connected and I have found the teachers there to be energized and passionate - far more so than I ever experienced at Leesville Elementary. It has been a warm and welcoming atmosphere from the front office throughout and my son is enjoying his middle school years.

Teacher quality lacks innovation, pedagogy, and enthusiasm. There is a disconnect between parents and teacher, teachers and administration, administration and parents. May not be the worst school but definitely not the best, nor better than the rest of Wake County. It's mediocre to say the least.
