I attended Ravenscroft from middle school to now. I am a senior and I will say the academics, teachers, and college readiness are unmatched. The work is very challenging depending on the classes you take, but if you have good time management skills, it shouldn’t be that overwhelming. Teachers are very supportive and get to know you. They want you to succeed and invite every student to come during tutorial time for help. The school puts a great emphasis on leadership and character. Ever since day one, I remember Lead From Here lessons in which we learn all the values and attributes that will help us lead ourselves effectively and lead others in the real world. Hence, it is very easy to start a club, and there are tons of opportunities for students to develop and share their passions with others. I cannot say that socially this a great school for everyone though. Unfortunately, I was not really able to build friendships with the other students.
We originally considered making the change from public to private school for our girls because we knew would eventually have 3 kids in 3 schools on 3 schedules (year round & traditional). We thought we'd move our oldest to private & have the other 2 follow when they started middle school. Once we toured Ravenscroft, we decided to move all 3 immediately! We were impressed with the arts programs, athletic programs & differentiated learning opportunities. From the 1st open house to now, 2 years later, we are thankful every day we made the change. The girls transitioned easily & were welcomed by new friends. The differentiated education opportunities allow each of them to learn at their own pace. The "Lead From Here" program designed to create citizen leaders is a top focus within the school that starts in pre-k & goes through graduation. The Ravenscroft community of parents is very warm & welcoming. I highly recommend Ravenscroft to anyone considering private school in the Raleigh area.
Blessed and thankful that my youngest daughter is enrolled at Ravenscroft! We came here from the public school system and we haven't looked back. While attending public school, there was always a struggle with getting my daughter motivated to get ready for school. We fought tears and despair lots of mornings only to find out she wasn't being challenged educationally and she needed a different learning style. We've been here for two years and we are still excited to have found an educational environment that works best for her. We love it here!
