Alum: Pinehurst Elementary is one of the best elementary Schools in Moore county and I strongly encourage that you send your child here. When I attended the school, the students were very strongly connected and I experienced no bullying, the teachers are very understanding and helpful (shout out to Ms. McNeil). Overall, I believe that if you are moving any where in Moore county, move to Pinehurst and send your child here.

Pinecrest High School

• Moore County Schools, NC
• 9-12
• 312 reviews

Senior: Attending Pinecrest was surely an experience that my classmates and I will remember. Yes, things could have been better in a hundred ways, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. All of my teachers made an effort to be a part of their students' lives, they actually cared. Not only that, but they continuously challenged us. They would teacher more than the curriculum asked for so we were way above prepared for any test. The student body was pretty amazing as well. There are no cliques, no stereotypes. This was a friendly environment that encourages participation everywhere. I know countless people who were in sports, music, and multiple clubs. The academic rigor is stimulating enough, but it also allows for extracurriculars. The school spirit was spectacular ad well! Games for sports at home and away always had the bleachers full of supporting students and parents. I thoroughly enjoyed being taught here, especially since everyone is crazy friendly.

Sandhills Theatre Arts Renaissance School (STARS)

• Public School
• Vass, NC
• K-9
• 3 reviews

Senior: STARS has been the most amazing school that I have ever attended! I started STARS as a 6th grader and am now graduating as a senior. This has been the best middle and high school experience that I could have had. Combining the arts with the curriculum has really been what made this experience so perfect for me. This school also has small class sizes along with opportunities for college courses starting in 11th grade.

Union Pines High School

• Moore County Schools, NC
• 9-12
• 201 reviews

Alum: I went to Union Pines from 2009 to 2013. I enjoyed my time at this school. While I was there, I went to many school plays, sports games, educational meetings, and after school tutoring sessions. The staff there is absolutely amazing. They take their time with each student, whether or not he or she was on their attendance or not. Because I lived in Moore County my entire life, I had many advantages of knowing and being related to the staff as well. I learned how to include everyone, and be polite to everyone who crossed my path- even the bullies. I learned to have fun but keep my studies first. I grew as an individual and during the time I was there, I had support from my peers as well as the staff the entire way!

North Moore High School

• Moore County Schools, NC
• 9-12
• 73 reviews

Alum: North Moore High School is a small school in Robbins, North Carolina. It is in the northern rural area of Moore County, and serves a small population of students. The unique thing about North Moore is that although it has a small surrounding population, the ethnicity of the students is widely diverse. This gives the school a friendly and accepting attitude to others regarding race or background. North Moore is a favorite for parents across the entire county!
