Senior: Surry early is a very inclusive and diverse school. I loved that you could always be yourself and no one really judged each other. Everyone who goes to surry early really wanted to be there. That’s what makes it so special everyone’s working towards something. We also get to learn how to do college instead of being thrown in. We Have many great opportunities to excel and tutoring programs. All our books and college fees are paid for. We get a 2 year degree for free. Almost all of the high school teachers are supportive and have refreshing ways of teaching. I have loved my time at surry early and would recommend it a thousand times over. If your family doesn’t think they could pay for college, surry early is a great option. They want to help those who can’t afford college. The only things I would change about it is to bring back high school clubs. Before we had a time in the week where we had clubs and got to interact that’s now gone. Overall it’s an amazing environment.... Read 41 reviews

Senior: Mount Airy High School offered me the opportunity to play football. That was my dream come true! Not only that but the school offered help to seniors for applying to college and life after high school. Having experienced counselors helped with the ACT, SAT and application requirements....

Senior: My favorite thing about Surry Central was the AFJROTC program. This program helped me grow as a student, person, and leader. If there was one thing I would change it would be to get more students involved in different clubs/ honor societies. Most freshman do not join anything their first year because they either don't know about it or they are scared. Since they don't join their first year they won't join any other year because it's "to time consuming" or "not fun" more clubs should show that they offer any student at any time.... Read 83 reviews

Senior: While, as many students from all over would attest to, all schools have their faults, North Surry Highschool is a great school filled with teachers who truly care about your education. All of the teachers there try their very hardest to make sure their students succeed. They are all willing to help you through personal and family problems while providing a satisfying and healthy education. Everything that I learn at the school is easily retained throughout the year, for most teachers like to build upon subjects, instead of doing individual topics that have nothing to do with each other. The food there is great and healthy while having a solid variety in what to choose from. I am truly going to miss this school, and I plan on coming back to help with the music program in the future.... Read 56 reviews

Senior: Elkin High is a great small town school where you have many one on one experiences with teachers. The education and class choice is great. Elkin Offers many oppertunities with the local community college to get ahead on college credits. One place Elkin could improve would ne in its athletic facilities. Elkins gym needs many updates as well as handicap excessible bathrooms on the gym level. The athletic fields are in great condition, but they do sit in a flood plain and the facilities do flood often making games very messy and muddy.... Read 44 reviews

Senior: Very great teachers that care about you and your education. Everyone I have met at East Surry has been very nice and welcoming. The sports at East Surry are outstanding in just about every sport. If any issue comes up, the administration knows just how to handle the issue. I have had so much fun at Friday night football games. We would have themes every Friday and the whole student section would participate. I would say the school spirit at East Surry is excellent. I felt very safe at East Surry. Everyone had key cards that were necessary to get into the doors of the building. At the football games, no bookbag was allowed in order to keep everyone safe from someone sneaking in weapons of any sort. The teachers aren't just teachers at East Surry, they also are there for you if you are dealing with any personal issues they are there to help you. I have had a very great 4 years at East Surry High School, and I will miss it very much!... Read 81 reviews

Junior: Millennium Charter Academy sets its standards with truth, goodness, and beauty. This motto has stuck with me since the sixth grade (current junior). Millennium Charter Academy pushes us to do better. We tend to perform better than the state and district on exams and are provided with loving staff members that allow us to seek help whenever needed. The small class sizes allow teachers to focus on all their students instead of just a selective few. We are able to come to them with a plethora amount of questions and always find our solution. Millennium is where you want to be.... Read 11 reviews
