The school district has very advanced schools, even in lower income areas. The funding provided by the county is very helpful to students, however, the counties decision making in terms of snow days, busses, and any other emergency, is very poor. The bus system is horrible, and many days I missed work and practice due to my buss simply not arriving one day, or me being late to school due to my bus also not arriving. Overall the experience was good, especially as an immigrant and having amazing access to technology and the relatively new school facilities.
I attend Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte, North Carolina and the community is vibrant and welcoming. The past two years attending this school I have met incredible professors, chefs, students, and staff that have made my college experience great. My first year I was nervous and did not know what to expect but I found peers that helped me become comfortable with the environment and classes. Once familiar with the area I started participating in school activities and going to events like the basketball games, bingo nights, karaoke and more. Overall, I am glad I chose to attend Johnson & Wales University in Charlotte, North Carolina and I am looking forward to the next two years.
As a family we enjoy that our school system has choices. Students can attend charter schools, performing art school, language arts and more. We offer a lottery system so that it is fair for all families. The opportunity for juniors and seniors to take classes at our local community colleges allows students to earn college credits which in turns reduces the overall tuition cost for college.
To improve our schools more attention should be given to bullying, mental health and sexual harassment.
