Current Resident: I currently go to school in Creedmoor and I absolutely love it! The town is small and there isn't much city life but if you are a "small town" person, then this is the town for you. Everybody here is so sweet and family really is the heart of this town. For any holiday you can name, Creedmoor has a celebration for it. Parades, games, trick or treating, you name it, Creedmoor has it! The neighborhoods are safe and the schools are amazing! I absolutely love all my teachers and even though my school is on the older side, it's the education that matters for me! Many AP Classes are offered along with helpful classes for those who are behind!... Read 34 reviews

Parent: My kids have been attending Basis since before the pandemic, and we are so impressed! Rich academic curriculum, good inclusion of the arts, excellent opportunity for differentiation based on student needs. The teachers are dedicated and so are the parents to the kids' success. While the administration has been bumpy as the school has gotten established (only 5 years old), they earned their stripes during the pandemic. Organized, safety-focused and diligent about communication. We supplement school with sports leagues and scouting outside of school, which many parents do. Easy to do given the extensive choice you have in the DC area. Also appreciate the international study body with impressively bright students from all over the world. A real meritocracy, unlike other private schools that admit based on VIP status or connections/donations. In the next few years, this school will only continue to advance its place in the rankings.... Read 52 reviews

Current Resident: Louisburg is a farm town that is tiny enough that if you spit on the sidewalk, the town could flood. In spite of its size, there are people of all kinds of ethnic backgrounds. But still, the neighbors are neighborly. Last month, within a week two separate houses burned down in my neighborhood, the community came together to help the victims rummage through the debris, clean the mess, and donated needs. Why? Because it is what we do in Louisburg. The acts of kindness are ongoing and endless. I am grateful to be here. I am grateful that I can raise my son here.... Read 22 reviews

Parent: The atmosphere is generally upbeat, being in Wake County. Most people are more progressive, though unfortunately Pat McCrory was elected. I do not approve of his political views, especially those on fracking. I would chose to live here again, because it is a growing area. The education is not as good as it could be, but I think I have done well with the magnet program. There are lots of job opportunities and lots to do. I think it is one of the best places to live, although maybe not as nice as Colorado, California, or Virginia. I think the future of the area should be good as long as the government puts more money towards education and the environment. It is already a tech center, with research triangle park....

Current Resident: Living In Holly Springs most of my life I have found that everything is in great proximity to my town. You have a relatively small town feel but can easily travel in any direction to get to anywhere you want to go. So if you like the hustle and bustle of city life you can go visit Raleigh. When you return to Holly Springs you can relax in a family friendly environment. The things you can do in Holly Springs are quite limited. We are about 8-10 minutes from Harris lake which is always fun. Harris lake has camp sites, nature trails, a variety of parks for kids and bout ramps for every size boat you can think of. Then bout 8-10 minutes in the other direction is Sugg farm. They have seasonal activities for adults and kids alike. During the 4th of July, crowds gather to watch in the fields of Sugg Farm. In the summer there are concession stands and carnival activities. Holly Springs Is definitely a seasonal Town. Because of this I think it really brings the community together.... Read 19 reviews

We have 3 children at the school who are very different learners, different personalities and different interests. Yet each is thriving at Bullis and the teachers meet each of their needs. We love that school is joyful and fun. Our kids WANT to go to school and have fun learning. They get a great balance of academics, arts, athletics, STEM, etc. It is a nice community of parents and friends who watch out for each other and help each other.

Parent: I have two children at CPSC and love the project based curricula, intentional work on inclusion and diversity, and the caring faculty and staff. Like all schools, there is always work to be done, and compared to the parochial school my children used to attend, Central Park is more focused on children, inclusion, broader learning beyond academics, and the surrounding community. The teachers care and are top notch, and all feedback is heard and promptly responded to, with a plan to address. Librarians send home books with students to keep over inter sessions, teachers create relevant and timely curricula and adapt it to the students, and students are encouraged to be responsible and design their learning....
