  Rating 4.47 out of 5  62 reviews

Parent: PD is far more than a top notch TK-12 college prep school! It is truly a community of dedicated, attentive & engaged teachers, administrators, staff, parents & families. PD is our second home. The curriculum is rigorous, the extracurriculars are wide ranging, and mental health & student support services are exemplary. More importantly, the student service opportunities are limitless and students actively participate by choice. We chose PD due to their welcoming of diverse families, and my daughters have close friends from a wide range of backgrounds, religions, and ethnicities. My oldest daughter recently matriculated from PD to a highly selective college and hasn't missed a beat. PD prepared her to solve problems, think critically, manage her time, practice self-care and instinctively make a positive difference in the larger community. My youngest daughter at PD is thriving and discovering an intense interest in STEM activities, such as Radio Astronomy. PD is truly exceptional!...Read 62 Reviews

Charlotte Country Day School

  Rating 4.15 out of 5  39 reviews

Alum: Country Day is an incredible school with excellent teachers, passionate coaches, and a friendly student body. The school fosters a strong sense of community and truly cares about its faculty. Country Day also offers extra-curricular activities that provide students with the opportunity to perform at the highest levels of athletic, artistic, and academic competition. Having completed my freshman year of college, I can easily say that I was better prepared than many of my fellow first year students. Country Day is truly a college preparatory school in every sense—alums will be equipped with the skills they need to thrive in college, provided they are willing to work hard. I can’t think of a better high school to be a student athlete or developing artist or budding scientist than Country Day—the emphasis on the whole of the student is truly remarkable. With all of its strengths, its few weaknesses—bad cafeteria food and a handful of subpar administrators—don’t really register...Read 39 Reviews

  Rating 4.46 out of 5  82 reviews

Senior: Without a doubt, the largest benefit I reaped from Latin was their Speech & Debate program. Not only did I find a supportive community, but also got the resources necessary to succeed in the event. The small class sizes were crucial because I got to know my teachers on a personal level and could always receive one-on-one help. The courses focus on interdisciplinary connections and always brings the curriculum back to events occurring in the real world, which was crucial to making the learning seem meaningful. Moreover, there's a lot of spirit days and perks that the administration organizes. It goes without saying that the food and facilities were also top notch...Read 82 Reviews

Senior: I had and still am having an amazing experience at Marvin Ridge High School. My fellow peers, teachers, and staff at Marvin have been accepting of all people that attend Marvin Ridge High school. I would know because I am Greek Orthodox at a school with majority of the students being Catholic or atheist and I feel at home. Marvin has allowed me to discover and have so many amazing opportunity's which is why my experience was overall great!...Read 435 Reviews

Weddington High School

  Rating 4.06 out of 5  387 reviews

Senior: From my experience as a student at Weddington High school, the staff and faculty make it their personal duty to make sure each and every student can succeed. From holding early morning tutoring sessions and rearranging lesson plans to focus on a more challenging topic for a longer amount of time, to going out of their way to get to know each student on a personal level, the teachers at Weddington make it heavily apparent that they truly care for their students. Over the course of the 4 years I have spent here, I have accumulated multiple strong bonds with my teachers that have made my High School experience very unique. The quality of education at Weddington is also something that I have found to be very profound. But with that being said, the school’s high standards for students does create levels of stress and academic competition that is higher than the average High school...Read 387 Reviews

  Rating 4.31 out of 5  159 reviews

Junior: I’ve been attending CATA for three years now and I’ve never been happier at a school before! The teachers are all amazing; they’re all so supportive, engaging, and teach incredibly well. On top of that, the environment itself is very comfortable. It’s a very diverse school where everyone can express themselves freely without judgement and I really appreciate the open atmosphere at CATA. Though we may not have the best athletics (which I personally don’t have much interest in as it is), our school is very competitive in terms of academics. I feel like I’m actually somewhat challenged here which I’m personally very grateful for. CATA definitely isn’t your typical public school and I’d recommend it to anybody who has interest in going...Read 159 Reviews

  Rating 4.2 out of 5  103 reviews

Parent: Covenant Day School has been a wonderful blessing to our family. The school community, faculty, and students hold true to a biblical worldview, academic excellence, and servant mentality. We deeply appreciate the school providing our children with such a Christ-centered approach. The main reason we chose CDS is having a desire for our children to learn the Bible to its core and apply it to all areas of their life. The teachers have a heart for God and their work. Our daughter every year says, I have the best teacher this year! But really, they all are the best. The leaders are unmatched, and despite all they have going on, they always make time for parents and students and never make you feel like like are too busy. The admissions office, is incredibly organized and also very personal, and knows each child by name and really knows them! We are honored and thrilled to be a part of the Covenant Day School Community...Read 103 Reviews

  Rating 4 out of 5  99 reviews

Parent: Our experience has been outstanding! During our first visit to campus, all of the staff were very welcoming and made adjustments to ensure our kids felt comfortable and engaged. During the last two years each one our our kids has made strong connections with the faculty and their teachers. Our Middle School student made the comment that his math teacher is very nice, but challenges the students. ...All of our kids are finding their way socially by building relationships with their classmates in class and through activities outside of class. They have been able to explore their faith and strengthen their values through classroom instruction, chapel, and a variety of events and clubs on campus...It is exciting to know that all of our focus at home on character and building a relationship with Christ is reinforcing throughout their day at school.Read 99 Reviews

Senior: Overall my experience was better than most. I had good teachers, friends, options, staff, classes, opportunities, clubs. Some things that I liked are the nurse, special education staff, the amount and variability of classes and clubs you can be apart of, the technology available, the sciences classes and teachers, panther paws, morning announcements, cans drive, availability for touring, athletics. Some things I would like to have improve would be the chemistry and foreign language department teaching methods, the junior paper, seating and room for lunch, bullying in general, the bathrooms, cleanliness and safety of the school, homework load, how every class and teacher gives tests on the same days, the heating and cooling extreme variances, acceptance and time to use the bathroom, and for the councilors to work more closely with students...Read 446 Reviews

Alum: As a recent alumna, I have been able to reflect on the value that Catholic has offered. Sure, we may not have an auditorium (yet,) or our own track- but Catholic has taught me numerous valuable lessons. It has given me a great work ethic and a competitive streak that has translated into my college work. It also has offered me a sense of community. With recent events that have been taken place (the firing of beloved teachers,) I saw posts all over Instagram. These posts were from as far back as 2016 grads!...Read 194 Reviews

High School Senior: The Story of My Life at this school would be long, but I can truly say that this is the best public school in all of Union County. There are certain elements that may not be positive, but the positive outcomes outweigh the negatives. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for an academically-focused school without paying college-level tuition prices for private school.

My children have received, and continue to receive, the same level and same quality of education students receive at the larger private schools in the Charlotte area at a faction of the cost. The students that matriculate from United Faith Christian Academy move on to incredible Division I universities. Very high quality education that doesn't break the bank...Read 31 Reviews

  Rating 3.61 out of 5  144 reviews

Senior: Becoming an early college student is an opportunity that I recommend to any rising high school students. The opportunity to graduate with a high school diploma and an associate’s degree should not be overlooked. Students have the opportunity to gain firsthand college experience while working with counselors and advisors. Students also have a strong network of staff to teach, guide, and give advice for future educational and career opportunities. The teachers are also excellent when helping and caring for each individual students. Despite it being an early college, students’ passions and talents are also recognized. I can say from my experience that the Union County Early College nurtures and encourages students’ educational, professional, and personal growth while promoting hard work...Read 144 Reviews
