    Parent: Academically SFCMS is awesome! They offer many after school clubs. Teachers are not available outside of their planning periods to meet with parents. Communication between administration and families is awesome. However, communication between teachers and families needs improvement.

    Charlottesville Catholic School

    • Private School
    • Charlottesville, VA
    • PK, K-8
    • 7

    Parent: Our family LOVES CCS! Our two boys went through CCS and are much better young men and students as a result. The overall environment at the Catholic School is exceptional. Academically, the students are encouraged, supported, and pushed to do their very best in the classroom. The teachers do an amazing job of reaching each student individually which translates into a trusting, caring, and successful school experience for the student, the parent(s), and also the teacher. In and out of the classroom the teachers and staff also do an extraordinary job of instilling discipline, self-respect and respect for others, thoughtfulness, and a sense of community and personal responsibility. Our boys continue to excel each and every year both as students and as young men in our community and I believe those valuable traits are a direct result of the foundation, mentorship, and guidance that they received as students at the Charlottesville Catholic School.

    Alum: Out of my four years there the school was attempting to improve and accommodate for student size. The sports teams have been steadily improving and the coaches are keeping most of the gear up to date. The teachers teaching style was good to learn from if those who wanted to learned focused. The security at the school was good as well.

    Alum: I attended Mac William Middle School from 6th to 8th grade, and it was a great experience. I'm currently a senior in high school, and I was very involved at Mac Williams.

    • 6-8

    Senior: Max Abbott is an amazing middle school. The staff members truly have a passion for teaching the students. Most teachers are available before and after school to assist you in any way possible. They make an honest effort to ensure that students are properly prepared to transition into the high school environment. I would like to see more clubs in the middle school. The administration of the school is very consistent with their method of treatment of disciplinary action. They make every effort to ensure that the students are safe and well educated in how to react if a true emergency occurs.

    Middle School Student: Highland Middle School has always been like a family to every student, teacher, janitor, cook, administer, and parent. My class was the very first class of Highland Middle School. Mr. Graham, the current principal, treated us as if we were his first kids. When HMS was built in 2015 Harnett County was teased with near perfect designs and plans for future students. Overall, I absolutely loved starting and "graduating" Middle School at this beautiful school in a safe, happy community.
