GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am currently going to Lufkin Road Middle School, it is honestly terrible. every day i deal with bullies and teachers. The bullies jam my locker, call me names, and steal my belongings. I tell the teachers but they just don't care. Next year for 8th grade im going to Apex and i don't suggest enrolling your child into Lufkin. If you do it will not help your child and hurt them. I DON'T recommend lufkin as a school you should have you child going to.

Great school. Be sure to look at details on why an individual NC school has a low rating. End of Grade and Beginning of Grade scores were once part of scores and those scores may be eliminated in years to come. All schools in Wake county are fantastic. You cannot go wrong and just because you buy a...
