2020 Best Middle Schools in Catawba CountyAbout this List

Hickory Christian Academy

• Private School
• Hickory, NC
• PK, K-12
• 19 reviews

Senior: Having been attending since first grade, I have, overall, enjoyed and valued my time at HCA. It is always difficult in the moment to value education; it is easy to complain. However, with hindsight in mind, I believe I received some of the most quality education available in my city of Hickory. Throughout my near twelve years enrolled at HCA, I have always felt that my instructors genuinely cared about my education, success and even my health. One thing that Hickory Christian Academy might need to work on is communications between the student body and faculty. Quite a few times my fellow students have felt helpless and ignored. Whether it be prom committee or dress code complaints, we deserve to be heard.

Jacobs Fork Middle School

• Catawba County Schools, NC
• 7-8
• 7 reviews

Senior: Overall, my experience with Jacob’s Fork was grand. It prepared me for high school as much as it could due to its wonderful and educated teachers. However, like all schools, the safety factor could have been better with perhaps more involvement with law enforcements. But of course this would be prevented and hindered by finances. Though overall, middle school was more “ordered” than high school, as in, their was more order when it came to fights and other conflict. That was probably due to us not having as much freedom in middle school than high school. But with freedom comes responsibility.

Harry M. Arndt Middle School

• Catawba County Schools, NC
• 7-8
• 1 review

Middle School Student: I loved the teachers, even though they pushed us to do better I think that's what is so good about Arndt the teachers are amazing and knew what was best for us. I think the most thing I missed about Arndt during the summer was the amazing teachers I had. I have been to many schools and I think Arndt is the best one I have been to.

Tabernacle Christian School

• Private School
• Hickory, NC
• PK, K-12
• 15 reviews

Parent: I am so thankful for Tabernacle Christian School! My child is excelling in academics, and is able to participate in fine arts and sports. As I was reading past reviews, I know some of these are outdated as administration has changed and is very intolerant of bullying and is very understanding in situations. I am thankful my child can attend a safe, Christian school with a family atmosphere. Thank you, TCS!
