#1 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Senior: I have been to four schools throughout my K-12 education. CSD is very unique even among the strange schools I have attended. I love my school for many reasons, but the biggest one is the arts program. Community School of Davidson has an amazing arts program with great teachers and talented students. If I have had a rough day, I know I can look forward to my art class and advance my artistic skill. Academically, CSD is also exceptional. I have had wonderful teachers who are very knowledgeable in their subjects. No school is perfect, but I feel like CSD has helped me grow so much as a student and a person.

#2 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Senior: Pine Lake Preparatory is a very close niche community. Parents are very involved in the school, students get very involved within the community outside of school. When a student attends Pine Lake they will leave knowing the name of every student within their grade level, but also other grade levels. The atheletic programs are a 1A division. The school has had many state championship teams, as well as individual state champions. The class of 2018 has the most athletes competing at the college level for the 2019 school year. The teachers know the names of every student. Teachers at Pine Lake are known to keep up with students outside of school. They will send congratulatory emails to students on their accomplishments.
Pine Lake Just finished building a completely separate building for STEM programs. The building is beautiful and has really helped improve the campus experience at Pine Lake.

#3 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Senior: I have been at UCEC for four years. I believe that my experience has indeed help me prepare for college. One thing that I would change is to help students figure what classes they need to take for their decided major. In my case, I do not have all the prerequisites I need, and I have taken classes that were not necessary. But overall, UCEC has a very accepting atmosphere and little to no violence and bullying. I would definitely recommend students to go to this school.

Freshman: Coming from a large public school where you get lost in the mix, I was most impressed by the fact that students were so welcoming. From the first day I visited, it felt like home. I have been challenged and supported by teachers and coaches and have been encouraged to be involved in activities in and out of the classroom to help me grow. I know I will be successful in College because of the preparation at Gaston Day. The motto TEAM BEFORE SELF, TIRELESS PREPARATION, FIERCE IN COMPETITION applies on the field and also in the classroom. I am blessed to be a Gaston Day Spartan! #SpartanStrong

Senior: Fort Mill has created an environment, in which pushes me to strive to be the best I can be. Faculty and staff ensure that students at Fort Mill are prepared for life after high school, whether that be in sports or academics.

#6 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Senior: Weddington High School has been an overall great experience for me and I couldn't be happier with where I have ended up. Weddington has provided me with four years of amazing teachers and administrators along with sports, in which I participated in one every season of the year, and has prepared me for college and what lies ahead of me. The school consolers are one of the best things about this school. They were always there to help whether I needed help with picking classes, questions about college and scholarships, or just needed someone to talk too. In my four years at Weddington I made close bonds with a lot of my teachers and it is definitely a school that I will come back and visit during and even after my college years.

#8 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Senior: Ardrey Kell is a very good school. I love the people there. Their always so kind and helpful. They offer tons of extracurricular activities. Some examples are Track, DECA, and KEY club. It's a great environment to be in too. The classes are challenging but fun. However, they are strict. They have a lockout policy, which means that if you're late to a class you won't be allowed to go back in. Which if you think about it, it's technically not a bad thing. It's all just about safety. I had an amazing experience. If you enroll in this school, you won't be disappointed!

#9 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Parent: MRHS is a great school with a variety of classes so students can choose the best fit for their learning style. The IB program is outstanding & truly prepares students for life after high school. It's a lot of work, but if your student is motivated & loves learning, it's an excellent option! MRHS has its share of high achievers, which can make it an uphill battle for some of the best students to stand out from the crowd in everything from academics to athletics. The school is located in an affluent area with students feeding in from surrounding neighborhoods. The “Marvin bubble” is not a true representation of the world outside. IB is a countywide program so Union County students are able to apply. This should help with bringing in a more diverse student body, something we recognize a need for. Just "good" players rarely have a chance to experience athletics because the competition is tough. Talk among parents & students feeds the overachievement frenzy.

Alum: It was a very neat tidy and clean school and well prepares you for going to college! The facility is nice, the teachers are excellent and its overall was just a very nice school to be in. I really learned a lot in my four years at Cuthbertson that I definitely apply to college now. It was such a benefit and it helped me prepare and get ready for college. It is a very safe and comfortable environment to learn freely and express yourself accordingly. I would for sure recommend this school to anyone looking for a place to move and attend a new high school!

#11 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Parent: Our experience with MICS has been excellent. We've been involved with the school since its founding. With three kids there I can't stress enough the benefits of a K-12 school. The student population is diverse and the academic offerings are good and getting better. There are schools offering more AP options and with higher average test scores, but I feel that MICS has offered our kids the well-rounded high school experience we were looking for. For a school of its size to provide as many clubs, extra-curricular, and athletic opportunities is impressive. Friday night football games have been fantastic. College acceptance letters have just begun for us and show that MICS has done a great job preparing our oldest for the journey through higher education.

Senior: I'm able to obtain an Associates Degree, as well as my High School Diploma at no cost. The workload is rigorous, but staff is very upfront with students during the application and consideration process. Class sizes are small which is helpful in learning. They offer a variety of clubs and offer other things such as Driver's Ed, Prom, field trips making this feel as much like a normal high school as possible to allow students that high school experience.

My teachers are all great and make me excited for my education. They make themselves readily available before school and during school for any additional help students may need. I take advantage of additional time that is offered by the teachers. So far I have made all A’s and hoping to for the rest of my semesters. My teachers encourage me to do my best and are a great support system.

Junior: When I started my junior year at Cato Middle College High School, I had no idea what to expect going into it. I didn't want to leave my friends at my old school, but I knew there was something better for me and that would help me get a jumpstart on my future. CMCHS did just that! Before you even start the school year, there's a Welcome Week, which helps you get acclimated to being on the campus and that helped a lot. The faculty and staff are beyond helpful and only want you to succeed.

#15 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Senior: I absolutely love the teachers at HST! They tend to be fantastic at making their material engaging regardless of the subject. They are very supportive of their students as well and amazing at preparing students for college.

The school is largely free of major problems which plague the average public high school. Criminal activity is unheard of at Highland because students must have clean behavior records to be considered for the lottery and will be expelled for such violations. Bullying is also extremely rare and most students are incredibly accepting. Intelligence is considered cool and hardly anyone makes negative comments about the physical appearance of others.

Competition for valedictorian is EXTREMELY fierce, so any factor reducing the number of AP classes taken could destroy your chance of being in the top 10. This is really the only reason why I cannot give Highland a perfect 5 stars.

Senior: Lincoln Charter School is small, so I get to know most of the other students. The teachers really care about teaching us and getting us ready for higher education. They are fun and teach interesting topics. I have made many friends at Lincoln Charter and I enjoy the social time I have with them. The school spends a lot of time preparing me for higher education and career life. Lincoln Charter School places emphasis on character growth and leadership. The staff is kind and easy to talk to. I have a very small senior class, so we are a tight-knit community. The school is designed to promote academic and social growth.

#17 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Alum: I absolutely loved CATA! I established friendships that I am confident I will keep for a lifetime! I was also given knowledge in the medical field to advance into college. Although, the reason for my 4-star rating is because some of the public schools in Union County began to emerge with much better medical programs where students left with a certificate, and CATA did not offer that which I felt made their academy less valuable. I also had a few issues with some math teachers, however; I overall loved my experience and would encourage any middle schools to apply! You'll have the time of your life!

Senior: Overall the school is pretty good. However, there is an evident lack of passion from many teachers for the subject(s) they teach. The school also has terrible wifi which makes doing work very difficult for students with online classes. They also refuse to turn the heat on until its about 90 degress outside.

#19 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Senior: Piedmont High School for me over the years has shown positives and negatives about the school. To start, Piedmont High School academically is very strong, this school really takes pride in giving kids the knowledge to get better. But I have seen very poor motivation in the teaching staff. There have been many times at Piedmont where my teachers genuinely had no care or will to teach or help their students, they simply just follow there curriculum. I've had the first-hand experience in seeing teachers not have the motivation to come and help any student if they are struggling, they usually blame the student for not coming to them. No, you as a teacher shouldn't always put the student in the wrong, yes the student should come to the teacher if they are need of help, but not all students are the same and some might be dealing with problems that might dissuade them or make them nervous to talk to the teacher. I harp on this because it is the only annoyance I've had with this school.

Senior: HRHS has many great aspects. As a member of many different clubs, sports teams, and the band program, there is definitely something for everyone. In recent years, the administration has changed started lacking in terms of efficiency (when trying to plan or get things done as a student leader) or in the level discipline but the faculty is always involved in the school and friendly yet still professional with their students. Academics are actually really good, challenging at times but most teachers, except the certain few, work hard to make sure their students get where they need to go and even beyond that.

#22 Best Public High School Teachers in Charlotte Area
Senior: I'm a senior at Myers Park high school graduating in 2019, and I can honestly say that I enjoyed my 4 years there and I would highly recommend it to others. What made my high school experience so great was the size of the school. While others see that as a negative and I also did my freshman year I quickly learned that there is literally a place for everyone with all the clubs, sports, and activities that the school offers; I think there are over 100 clubs from the fly fishing club to the anime club to the curling club, and the athletics top it off in the fall you could come onto the campus on a Friday and everyone would be talking about the football game that night. I really feel like Myers Park has somthing to offer to everyone, but at the end of the day you'll only get out what you put in.

Senior: I love my school! It has beautiful architecture and a breathtaking campus. Most students are outstanding and create an encouraging environment to lift one another up while no one is looked down upon for doing well. Additionally, the staff/faculty are extremely helpful reaching out to students and giving clear resources to assist students and/or help us stay organized in order to maximize our potential. Our school is a safe environment and community full of laughter and smiles! Moreover, our school has so many opportunities to reach out and get involved. Our sports teams are excellent with our Men's basketball team winning the state championship twice, our women's volley ball once, and our cheerleaders winning twice as well, I believe! Most of all, I love my school because it challenges me. The education is thorough and precise. I learn a ton, grow my social skills, develop my work ethic, and have fun at Cox Mill High School!

Junior: First, it is now known as The Epiphany School of Global Studies
Second, the school offers K-12 (K-3 have a Spanish immersion program)

Epiphany is a great place, a family that I have been a part of for most of my life. Almost everyone is friendly and the teachers are fantastic. I am glad to have been here it is such an uplifting environment. Stop Hunger Now! has always been one of my favorite traditions with the school. Also, the travel opportunities are not to be missed, they are always fantastic!

Overall the academics are great for the average student, but for those that fall below or above average it will be challenging. (Academics are already very challenging here, the average mid-B student at public school can expect mid to high C's). There are a limited number of AP classes that high-schoolers can take. The teachers here are fantastic. They actively care about the students and get to know everyone of them. I could not ask for better teachers.
