2019 Best Schools with Gifted and Talented Programs in the Fayetteville, NC AreaAbout this List

Cross Creek Early College High School

• Cumberland County Schools, NC
• 9-12
• 157

Senior: Academics are great. Also good for getting a headstart if you plan on applying to UNC schools that'll accept credits, which most if not all do. A lot of students find their time eaten up by the sheer amount of work given and the abundance of volunteer hours required.
As for other aspects, FSU campus leaves something to be desired. CCEC has no sports. No gym. No homecoming. Mediocre, repetitive food. Clubs may as well not exist. Most only take place for 15 minutes on Fridays and are hard to attend as an upperclassmen that is unwilling to compromise his or her college schedule.

Overall it's great, but you may want to consider outsourcing for extracurriculars.

Jack Britt is honestly one of the best high schools you can ever go to. Go Buccaneers!!

Senior: I absolutely love Cumberland International Early College High School! Not only will we graduate with an equivalent to an associate's degree, but we also have some of the best teachers around. Our teachers work so hard to prepare us for our college classes, which are taken on Fayetteville State University campus, and they are extremely invested in our education. They want all of the students who graduate from CIECHS to go on and make the best of their lives. I am forever appreciative of my school!

Middle School Student: I liked the teachers at Vanstory, and the students were not bad. I only ever came in contact with one bully in my time there. I loved the plays we always performed there, and the fact that they are actually educational, and I enjoyed them. I do wish that there were more after school activities, because there were only a few in my time there. Otherwise, Vanstory is an awesome school 👏

Sandhoke Early College

• Hoke County Schools, NC
• 9-12
• 79

Sophomore: I am an active student currently at SandHoke Early College, and I love my experience there. All the staff and administration are very involved with the students, and it really creates an amazing sort of community on our campus. The teachers at SandHoke are some of the best in the whole state. The teachers put their students first and are always helpful if you need help. I really have enjoyed my experience so far at SandHoke but the only thing I feel like really lacks is sports,(Spartan was just offered last school year, but I would prefer more options) and maybe some more diverse clubs (the school has a lot already, but I feel like student made clubs might be a good addition). Overall, SandHoke is an awesome choice compared to the alternative high school in the county. It is definitely a place worth considering the amount of preparation that will go into making your child the most successful they can be.

Senior: To be ingulfed in such a wonderful placed revolved around citizenship and tradition shaped me be the leader and bright women I am today. Throughout my four years at Cape Fear I was able to evolve my mind and character which therefore allowed me to expand my education with limitless possibilities. Change respresents growth and wisdom, and all I hope for my school is to not engross themselves in silliness like dress code and cell phone policies but to strive to focus on creating wonderful students with free minds and big hearts because Colt Pride Never Stops.
