New Hanover County Schools have provided a great education for both of my daughters. There are many opportunities to participate in a variety of clubs, sports, and academic programs/clubs. The teachers and administrators have always been helpful and accommodating and great communicators. Teachers have been great providing any extra assistance academically with weekly hours for study groups and/or extra support. The school and district provide emails and phone calls to share information regarding our specific high school as well as local/regional school board information. We were thankfully able to attend our neighborhood school that we were not districted for by applying for an open choice placement. We have been very happy with New Hanover County Schools.
My high school experience was great. I thought E.A. Laney was a great school with even better teachers. Athletics were awesome and it was a blast playing with and against other schools.
The one thing I dislike is the equality of sports. Football brings in the most profit to schools, but I think that other sports should be treated more fairly. I played soccer in high school and my coaches couldn't afford to get us team t-shirts or even extra practice cones. It was a very tight budget. Yet football players get more special treatment. Some of the food is donation, but they also host large fundraisers, get their players quality sports attire they are able to keep, and get huge pep rally's. I understand football is a great tradition sport to bring in money and get the school together! But they do get special care from faculty compared to less income sports and maybe if the same attention was given to the other sports, even they could get the school greater income during their seasons, too.

I have attended schools in three different North Carolina counties. The overall vibe of New Hanover is very negative, both in the interactions of the students and teachers. That being said, I have had some great teachers through the years. I feel prepared for college thanks to my teachers in the Lyceum Academy at New Hanover High School.
The schools in New Hanover County are extremely unevenly supported. Many schools depend heavily on PTA monies, therefore there are extreme differences in each school's facilities, resources and overall culture. Many people in the area choose private schools for this reason.
