Freshman: Page high school honestly has a bad wrap. I wouldn't say the school is really all that bad maybe it's the people or that i'm just an optimistic person but the school has something unique. Through the pandemic things (especially school) got hard. I really do think page is a school of good administration and teachers that have your best Interest at at heart. I had some crappy stuff happen to me (which is inevitable anywhere you go) and thankfully page had a good support team through what i had going on. On the other hand there's a lot of things that could make it better like better food, cleanser bathrooms, better communication about sports/activities. Over all It's not the fanciest place we're the walls are all the same color and all the sinks work but the community makes up for it. Not to mention how much school spirit there is especially against the Grimsley Wirlies (our school rival). Dream big.... Read 304 reviews

Junior: Northern Guilford High School has great resources available to the students, including CTE career paths in nursing, engineering, architecture, and computer programming. There is also access to classes outside of the high school available to the students for free, such as taking classes through Guilford Technical Community College and Weaver High School. The teachers and administrative staff at Northern are very adaptive to students and their different situations to make learning easier for the students. For example, there are testing days for certain subjects, like math and English classes can only test on Tuesdays and Fridays. Sports at Northern are excellent as are the many clubs. However, many teachers and the classes they teach give out too much homework that is feasible for students to do in one night. School also ends late, at around 4:30, which makes it hard for students who have sports or jobs to get to them in time. The student body isn't very diverse and the food is okay.... Read 356 reviews

Senior: I’ve had a great overall experience at Mount Tabor. Great memories have been created over 4 years such as cheerleading, clubs and activities and even learning in the classroom. I have been offered amazing opportunities that I’m not certain I would have if it wasn’t for my amazing guidance counselor that always guides me in the direction specific to my needs and wants. I feel like safety is taken seriously at Mount Gabor as well. Outside doors are immediately locked after school had began, and visitors are required to check in at the office. They then must wear a visitors badge at all times around the school. Our resource officers does a great job of monitoring the school and ensuring everyone’s safety. I appreciate what Mount Tabor has to offer to all students and I have loved every moment of my high school experience.... Read 259 reviews

Senior: North Davidson High School is full of wonderful teachers. Almost all teachers care about the well being of their students inside and outside the classroom. They support you at your athletic events and are there for you every step of the way. However, I would like to see more focus on academic by trying to have more AP classes to enroll in. The more challenged our students are the more prepared they are for college. I believe a big part of North Davidson character is unity and support, from your classmates and teachers, wether it is at athletic event or big test.... Read 330 reviews

Senior: What do I like about Eastern Alamance High? If I were to be honest here it isn't the most ideal place but they have it put together. The staff and administration try their best to make sure each student passes each grade. While the school needs some serious work from the leaking hallways, to messy bathrooms(from students) it does have it's perks. I have had the pleasure of having some wonderful teachers here, however that is not always the case for some. My teachers have made me feel welcomed but also un-welcomed with their teaching strategies and how they run things in the classroom. I respect each teacher but some don't have the patience for these kids which can cause altercations. This school academically doesn't have a lot to offer unless you get a teacher with a great teaching style. Overall I think it is a great school its evolving every day into new things....

Senior: Personally, I did enjoy my high school experience at Northwest, but their is still a lot that could be done to improve the school. There are a lot of teachers that are excellent and invested in their work, but their are also some teachers that are very poor at either controlling their classroom or getting work done. The facilities such as the bathrooms, drinking fountains, and mobile classrooms are horrible. Although I see janitors working all the time who are invested in their work, the school still has trouble keeping clean at times (mostly in the bathrooms). Also the school is way too overcrowded, so much so that there wasn't enough desks for students at the beginning of the year. Most of the faculty is great! However, Northwest doesn't have the best pride (we stopped having pep rallies because very little people would participate). Despite its flaws, it is a decent school to attend for students that want a great education.... Read 321 reviews

Alum: I went here for all four years. It’s a great school, and is very challenging. Teachers are also friendly, the only bad thing is that sometimes they would place some students in AP classes, when they don’t want it, only for the school benefit to increase diversity. The good thing that I got was the counselor that I had was amazing. But they need to do better for preparing students for college and taking to them about scholarships, and even offer campus field trips for the seniors. But overall this school does prioritize education, and those who don’t think so are often the ones who don’t come to school to learn. School isn’t meant for entertainment, that what I would say to someone complaining about very small things. Definitely would recommend for those who are serious about their high school education....

Senior: From the welcoming staff to the comforting classrooms, James Benson Dudley High School is the learning place to be. Never have i ever felt like an outcast at this school, we are faced with so much diversity everything and everyone is welcome. They have so many programs available for scholars such as learning hub for the ones who need extra studies or are having problems in certain subjects. They also provide a 5th block class for the students who work and need the extra credit. Snacks are also provided at each club. Did i forget to mention or outstanding athletics? We currently hold the title of the 2021-2022 football state championship! Now who does it like Dudley?... Read 252 reviews

Parent: From the first day we toured the campus we loved that students walked from building to building. It felt like it was a college campus, and time spent outside was a health bonus for students! WFHS makes a great community with more than 30 clubs, societies, sports teams. It was joyful to discover that students can find almost anything. WFHS is creative in many ways, there are always new banners and announcements, decorations for upcoming events and seasonal decor for the school appearances. WFHS is strong in supporting local communities by participating in cleaning events in parks and neighboring areas, pitching in in donations, and volunteering. We feel special pride about the school’s ethics. Teachers work as a team and navigate delicate and challenging social situations, showing most sincere kindness and care, teaching students how to not compromise humanity in lieu of mundane fun and giving direction to those who have lost it. And the academic value of the school speaks for itself!... Read 346 reviews

Senior: When I first walked on the campus as a freshman I felt welcomed immediately. The teachers and administrators are helpful and open to communicating with all of the students. I was surprised to see there weren't cliques like you see in movies. Everyone had a person or people to talk to. For me, the Marching Band people were my people to be with. When thinking of something to change I honestly had to think very hard to find something in need of change. East Forsyth is an older school that has added buildings over the years, and I would change the breezeway it is the most chaotic place to be during class changes. I would change the breezeway and make them more suitable for all types of weather and class sizes.... Read 352 reviews

Junior: Being at Reidsville High for 3 years, continuing to be 4, it has been a great experience. Many students here have such underrated talent such as being very artistic, playing tennis, basketball, football and very intelligent in the classrooms. Teachers are welcoming, they help you learn and most definitely try to help you get your work done. Junior year is kind of rough, but eventually you’ll push through the obstacles. Students use to even help me out sometimes if I need it. The school spirit at Reidsville is so GREAT. Everybody, including myself always looks forward to the basketball and football seasons. For our city to be as small as it is, we can sure show so much support for the school. What I would like to see changed is updated bathrooms, buildings.. etc because our school is a little old. I feel like we should have better food choices because the food here sucks. If it was in my hands I would definitely change that.... Read 128 reviews

Senior: It’s a relatively small public school with many amazing teachers who care more about seeing students succeed and be on a good path than just having students make good grades. I’ve spent the past four years in this school and have had teachers who genuinely cared about me and helped me to reach my goals, as well as many other students. I’ve seen teachers go out of their way to make sure students are having a good Christmas or feel like they have someone to care about them. The school also has many different clubs and sports for students to participate in, as well as honors, AP, and college credit classes for students to take advantage of.... Read 161 reviews

These experiences have allowed me grow as a person, as I have been able to give back to my community and make lasting friendships.

Senior: Salisbury High School has been a wonderful place to learn. The teachers at this location do a fantastic job at making sure their students are mentally well and prepared to tackle the day. It's a very safe place for the LGBTQ youth and full of people from diverse and extensive backgrounds. A great variety of classes are offered there in an attempt to make the location a STEAM (Science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) school. Our sports teams have performed very well over the years I've attended Salisbury. A great variety of clubs and extracurricular activities. I would recommend Salisbury High School to anyone who strives for a medium sized school that pursues excellence.... Read 126 reviews

Senior: Very great teachers that care about you and your education. Everyone I have met at East Surry has been very nice and welcoming. The sports at East Surry are outstanding in just about every sport. If any issue comes up, the administration knows just how to handle the issue. I have had so much fun at Friday night football games. We would have themes every Friday and the whole student section would participate. I would say the school spirit at East Surry is excellent. I felt very safe at East Surry. Everyone had key cards that were necessary to get into the doors of the building. At the football games, no bookbag was allowed in order to keep everyone safe from someone sneaking in weapons of any sort. The teachers aren't just teachers at East Surry, they also are there for you if you are dealing with any personal issues they are there to help you. I have had a very great 4 years at East Surry High School, and I will miss it very much!... Read 81 reviews

Senior: GDS is an extremally nice and well rounded school. It is packed with challenging courses and great faculty and staff who work diligently to ensure that students are ready for college and obtain the opportunity to pursue their own path. With that said, as someone who has attended the school for six years now, coming in seventh grade, I find that the school has it's weaknesses. To start the food at GDS is not what it once was, while it is still superior to that of the public schools in the area the cost to quality and meal size ratio is unsettling. In addition there is a very noticeable lack of school spirit from the student body, and while the school and a hand full of student are working to raise school spirit it is still something to be addressed. Ultimately GDS is a great school and community that is very close and will not only prepare you for what is next but also allow you to form strong long lasting bonds with class and school mates....

Junior: Wheatmore is a good school. They are considerate and helpful of their students goals. They try to help every student succeed in multiple areas of their high school experience. But, of course there are little things that I find annoying about it. Wheatmore feels somewhat like Alcatraz, the building is completely I closed and going outside is a big no-no. The teachers at Wheatmore seem to be in cliques with students and other teachers. They’ll give each other nicknames, and teachers will talk about how much fun they had with a students family over the weekend (in the middle of class). Despite the little annoyances, Wheatmore is a good school.... Read 104 reviews
