My son went here, and we were happy with his middle school experience. The principal is easy to get to know, but also strong. The Vice Principals are caring and personable. They have a Club Day here where the clubs meet during the day, with tons of different clubs. Robotics, art, band, chorus are all really popular. My son played sports, and he loved his coaches. They were so nice. If you join the band or chorus you get to go on a fun competition trip once a year to Busch Gardens or Carowinds. The teachers are caring and know their stuff. The PTA is strong. I recommend joining the PTA and volunteering! It is great fun and research shows when you get involved with school, your child does better in school. At first I was worried and about our son going to Middle school, but he made friends and it worked out.

My son is an 8th grader and has been at East Wake Middle since 6th grade. The leadership there is wonderful. The principal and assistant principal are caring and hard working. The teachers are dedicated and enthusiastic. I have been very impressed with how things are run at East Wake Middle. And by the way, the band program is amazing (wins lots of awards) and the Chorus teacher is very cool and so nice. The band and chorus get to attend a yearly competition at Carowinds or Busch Gardens every year. The kids get to go on field trips. The school dances are popular with the kids. The PTA is strong. I give it an A plus.
