The Ligon staff treated her with warmth, like family. everyone was treated with warmth and grace. So much diversity and spirit. My daughter is not a robot.

NO CLONES IN LIGON!!!! so glad we could finish out middle school with this staff and spirited student body. i cant thank you all enough. bravo!!!

What a phenomenal school! The educators at this school care deeply about their students. The…read moreelectives are outstanding: from CTE courses to fine arts and academics. Outstanding athletics as well. As a parent, I worried about middle school. But my children had such a wonderful experience here! No school is perfect, but this truly exceeded any expectations I had. Highly, highly recommend if this is a magnet option for you.

I worked here for a year and they were a bit racist towards me, they were picky on who touched…read morewhat. on my last days the teachers acted so weird. waited for me to leave rooms to be locked up... it was weird. I'm glad I left. they do comment about your children in the office area. just how they talk about their staff. worst place to work at. they act nice to you but talk bad about you behind your back. two faced. Especially Jessica.

The curriculum at Raleigh Charter is extremely difficult; there are NO regular classes here. They…read moreare all honors or "advanced" honors classes even at the freshman level. This is all well and good, but with this difficult level and small class size my husband and I were hoping for some more individualized support. Our daughter is by no means gifted, but her middle school grades were mostly A's, her attendance at Raleigh Charter is 100% (literally) and she studies 3-4 hours a night, supervised, so we know she is trying as hard as she can, and she is really struggling. There are several tests and quizzes every week in addition to lots of homework...this is NOT a complaint however because I know how much time and energy the teachers must put into consistently doing this.

I am the proud father of a special needs child. He attended Ravenscroft for 6 months. I got a call…read morefrom the school saying my child had wet himself. He is almost non verbal; so it took me to the next day to get him to talk to me about it. Apparently the teacher made him set outside in the 90 degree heat until he used the bathroom on himself. He was upset because he had to use the bathroom. This is all my lawyer said I could disclose, and their is MUCH more.

I went here to buy a Bus off of the Maintenance department, and when I arrived there were two young…read moregirls sitting on a golf cart waiting on me. One was their "notary". It felt like I wan in trouble or in the "office" in school it was weird. They said here is a list of everything that is wrong with it. I told them I was gonna use it to go across the country bc I am homeless going through a divorce. I did not go on my gut bc they were so professional, they could have wrote that bus off on their taxes, but instead they stole my whole savings, every dime. The guy that sold it to me had gold rings looking like a 100 dollar pimp. The money was for those young girls I was talking about at the beginning. The dash had been replaced with a newer one, but I got the computer to show me the real odometer reading, it was over 300, 000 miles, but the dash was showing 111,000 miles. They knew I would not make it back to WV from NC, and the lemon laws in NC are only for new cars. 6814725579 for more info. I donated the bus to a girl in Virginia working at an EXXON, lol. told her to scrap it. I did not even get home to work on it. UwU

Absolutely unbelievable. This school is the furthest thing from CHRISTIAN. The majority of the…read moreteachers don't teach properly and focus on the complete wrong things. The school is a mess, the rules make no sense. The way they treat the students is genuinely so embarrassing. If you want your child to feel supported or respected, look somewhere else. This school is the last place I would ever recommend. Disgusting.

We sent my gifted black nephew to NRCA. We asked former teachers, families of students, black…read morefamilies of students and we heard negative statements concerning the African American experience here. As a teacher I asked a former NRCA teacher about it, and his words were "It is a good education, but they are not the place for black students." Despite this, we normally know how to navigate those spaces, and most teachers here are actually GREAT. However, they have a science teacher and a coach that has received several complaints for ostracizing students. It's one of the worst experiences I've ever had with an educator. I've never seen ANYTHING like it. We have spoken to administration. Other parents have spoken to administration. They head nod and continue to employ him, knowing he has actively chosen to kill the energy of the students he is called to serve. You don't have to believe me, ask about him. The responses will be the same. Parents agree but duck their heads to avoid rubbing him wrong as he takes it out on kids. I've been a teacher for 15 years and have recommended my sister remove him from this situation as I see how he has affected him. Families of players agree, but I'm okay speaking up, bc someone needs to know. Ronnie Kruger's actions are so egregious, and he alone has caused my nephew such pain, I can't believe a Christian School continues to let him behave this way and not require him to at minimum treat kids with respect and love.

This is my children's first year at Magellan and it has been a wonderful experience. The school…read morechallenges them to think differently and to learn in non standard ways. I love that there are field trips that are scheduled that help them learn the material and reiterate what was taught in the classroom. Being a parent, we are all involved in our children's success, and I am happy to be there to help volunteer and meet my children's friends and teachers. My sons' teachers are very involved and communicate when they have weaknesses and strengths that we need to work on or continue to enhance. If every year continues to be like this year, I will be more then satisfied with what Magellan has done for my children.

Magellan is a wonderful school serving grades 3-8. You get in by lottery only, so your best…read morechances for entry is 3rd grade. I have never experienced the kindness and genuine desire for your child to be the best like Magellan offers. The staff know who you are if you call. They know your child's name. They give the children incentives to do well in academics and behavior (they use a coupon system that gives them a reward day). They take many USEFUL, engaging field trips. They want the families involved....they have social gatherings for Magellan families frequently throughout the school year. I don't have anything negative to say about this school. My daughter attended a public school in Granville County prior to this, and before the public school, I was homeschooling her. Homeschooling was wonderful because I was able to focus on what she needed and do things at her pace. Public school didn't allow this. However, the staff at Magellan ensure that my child is learning what she should be learning, and they are careful to work with her if she needs extra help. The teachers communicate to parents via email frequently. The school is very clean, and kept very tidy. They have a wonderful system in place. I pray they get a K-2, and 9-12. I don't want my children going anywhere else.

This is a great disciplined and structured Catholic school. The school is over 100 years old and…read morethe principles have remained the same. Get good grades, mind your manners, no back talk to your elders, and good christian values and character driven beliefs. Religion is in the fore front of the teachings and they all go through the class everyday and attend Mass. I would recommend this school to anyone looking for a highly respected Catholic parochial school PreK - 8th grades. The parent volunteer base is very supportive of the school as well. Strong values in how we want our children to be brought up in this kind of world.
