Senior: The Early College at Guilford is a great college preparatory program, and for students interested in STEM, the resources are wonderful! You are allowed to take free college courses for 2 years, and you have access to lots of resources that come with being on a college campus. The art and design clubs and culture is not the best, but you have access to college level facilities for the last two years, which is a great opportunity.... Read 115 reviews

Senior: I have attended this school for 3 years now and it has been an amazing and unique experience. The office staff is extremely nice and helpful and the teachers are exceptional with their courses. The teachers have taught both honors & AP classes very well and I passed every class and exam. The opportunities were also endless in terms of clubs and service-learning. The environment is welcoming for new students and there is diversity everywhere. Since it was a small school, I was able to develop a relationship with every student in my class. Within a few days of my first year, it felt like family. By junior and senior year, I attended college classes at the university which helped with college readiness. Now, I can transfer credits and save lots of money in college! The only drawback was that our school did not offer arts or sports which is something that I would like to see differently. But, I was still able to pursue my interest in tennis through my district highschool.... Read 42 reviews

Senior: First and foremost, the student body is amazing. Everyone is super talented and interesting, and because we’re all art kids, the vast majority of us are super nice. One thing in particular that I love is that everyone dresses so differently and is not afraid to dress how they want to. Everyday I see people in sweatpants and a T-shirt, in dresses, in full goth, in the gayest outfits ever, and also a bunch of people cross-dressing, which has been such a welcoming and pleasant atmosphere since the day I walked in. I also really like that we’re on the block schedule, meaning students have 4 90-minute class periods each day, and get new classes at the beginning of the second semester. This means that students take 8 classes every year, which is more than most other high schools. My biggest complaint is that since we’re a small school, we have limited academic classes, especially for foreign language. This is balanced out with lots of tremendous arts classes, but is a challenge nonetheless.... Read 157 reviews

Junior: Bradford Academy has a wonderful education model and a wonderful motive behind it. It's a classical school, which is proven to be the best type of school by test scores (compared to public, charter, and private schools). And it's a Christian school, where issues of God and the soul are placed far above any academic success. The teachers care about us, and they know us. Many of my own teachers have taken the time to talk me through something, whether it's something they're teaching me or even a personal crisis I'm struggling with at home. Bradford is uniquely set up for shaping godly leaders, and I am so glad I've had an opportunity to be a part of it.... Read 7 reviews

Senior: I love being a student here, all of the teachers and staff are so amazing and understanding. The whole school is one big family and I have made lots of personal connections to the teachers, staff, and students here. Not only is everyone supportive and kind, but it allowed me to take college classes so I can get a head start on college, for free! They have prepared me to be college, career, and life-ready. Thing to consider : no sports team, you have to play at your home school.... Read 64 reviews

Works Here: BSMS is a wonderful school. The students treat each other like family. The school is small enough for the staff to know every student. The school works hard to provide students with a quality education that prepares them for the high school of their choice. BSMS aims to challenge students and ensure they are not only strong academically, but also strong in character and service. BSMS staff listen to students, honors their voices, and strives to always improve.... Read 21 reviews

Senior: I really like the opportunities provided! Not only do they provide you with the opportunity to grow intellectually, they also build strong relationships. The Academy at Smith is the best for providing advance for their students, this ranges from medical programs not offered at any other schools, dual enrollment, AP classes and honor classes. They prepare you for college and the real world!... Read 52 reviews

Senior: Here at the middle college at GTCC, students can get their high school education in classrooms with little students at once for better one on one communication with the teachers. Students also can take college courses while taking their high school courses as well. It is a great opportunity for students and gets them college ready.... Read 36 reviews

Parent: I have had 6 kids attend Alamance Christian. While no school is perfect, ACS is the best all around school in area. Even though they are the least expensive of all private schools in county, they excel in everything from academics to sports to fine arts. Within the last 6 years students have attended Stanford, Wisconsin, Harvard, Penn State, UNC and NC State just to name a few. Everything is taught from a biblical worldview. Teachers care and are involved with students. Sports teams have won numerous state titles with students playing in college from basketball, soccer, golf, volleyball and baseball. Fine arts have won at the national and state level. They prepare students for the "real" world whether they go to college, military or work force. THANK YOU ACS for investing in my kids....

Parent: BCA is overall a very good school, I value highly the Christian education my children receive there and the individual attention from teachers and staff. As far as private schools go the tuition is low. Education and college prep is first rate as are the facilities. BCA lacks a diverse student body and wealth does at times seem to determine privileges. Students can be quite entitled, and albeit taught to behave in a loving manner by the teachers and administrators, they can be very elitist and look down upon others around them. Academically students are challenged and lead to achieve at a high level. I truly enjoy the focus placed on service, and giving back to the community through service projects and missions....

Senior: I would say my experience at The Middle College at Guilford Technical Community College has been challenging but enjoyable. The atmosphere amongst the student body is very welcoming and the teachers are always keeping you on your toes. Attending this school really encouraged me to push myself to go further. Everyone is always very supportive of each other, and downfalls are always addressed in a sense of perseverance. Since it is a smaller school, no one gets overlooked and everyone gets what they need to insure their success. The teachers really make sure that they do their part, and more, in pushing the students to do well. Even though the school doesn't offer a "regular" high school experience, I feel like I got so much more to carry on throughout my journey from attending there.... Read 34 reviews

Senior: The part I like about the middle college is the college. Because of this connection with the best HBCU North Carolina A&T, it brings good teachers and staff here. You are able to take college classes and your “college readiness” level becomes very high. The main part I wish could’ve changed was that the school was all boys. I feel like having girls there would have brung some fun to the school. That’s another thing the school was only academics. There was no clubs or activities. There isn’t even any electives that you can take. In the parents point of view this school is great but from a students point of view it’s barely average.... Read 42 reviews

Alum: Going to Vandalia Christian School was an amazing experience. It was at Vandalia where I won the NCCSA State Cross Country meet. This school gave me incredible opportunities such as the following: playing guitar in chapel crew, preaching at fine arts, running cross country, receiving a solid education, and preparing me to enter into college. Although I only attended for three years, they may have been the best three years of my life (especially junior year where I met my present day girlfriend). I really wish that Vandalia had offered more AP courses because I would have liked to take more than just AP Statistics and I wish that the AP Statistics course that they do offer better prepares students for the AP Statistics Exam. In all, I had a wonderful experience at Vandalia and would not trade my three years at this school for anything!... Read 66 reviews

Senior: I first found out about The Middle College at Bennett my sophomore year when my friends who attended told me about it. When i transferred to the Middle College in the 11th grade i was going through a rough time where i was battling depression because so much was happening during that time. I found myself having to completely start over in the two years . Within the first two weeks i kept having to introduce myself and why i transferred. I told them i was on the verge of not caring anymore because i was drained. Within two years i turned my grades around getting A's and B's in classes i was nearly failing and was the president of the Science club my junior year and Club queen of Art my senior year. I showed tremendous academic growth with the strong support of my Bennett family. I wish i would have known about them my freshman year because i defiantly would have attended. I overcame my depression by switching schools because i was finally happy and surrounded by positively.... Read 81 reviews

Senior: This is amazing i went to this school starting in pre-k(age 4) and continued all the way until 5th i have learned so much in so many ways. It has helped me to try to things my self first then instead of when i first get stuck run to the teacher. it has taught me not to rely on everyone else when i need help because soon enough i will get it. It has taught me to ask for help when i need it the most. it is also so diverse that by time u get through all the gades you will learn how not to see people by color but just how they really are. The teacher are so nice they will give u all the care u need no matter how old you are.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: I loved the administrator's, teacher's and guidance counselors' dedication to the students, even when the students didn't have faith in themselves the administrator's, teacher's and guidance counselors' would still push them toward a positive future. The one thing that I would love to see change is the hostile environment from the students but that would only happen if the guardians stepped in more.... Read 173 reviews
