#21 Best High Schools for STEM in Raleigh Area
Parent: At Thales for 4+ years. Few elective choices 1 per year. (art, engr, econ, etc). In HS you will have 4 yrs for foreign language, history, math, science, literature. Sr year - sr seminar with large paper and presentation. If you have special needs (high function autism, ADD, dyslexia, dysgraphia) they may be able to work with you but be careful - have everything in writing before committing to school. Administration will NOT help you with standardized test accommodations even if you have documentation. Honors track - person teaching. A/P is possible - online and on a calendar schedule. Sports is offered. No booster or fundraising which affects program quality. Sometimes student discipline by school doesn’t match the offense (too harsh/too much). Pluses: iPad issued to each student, technology driven classrooms, classical education, typically smaller class sizes and low behavior issues. Areas to improve: sports/coaching, more flexibility with course availability, college counseling.
