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 used to go here as a middle school student. I've been going to this school since 2nd grade and let me tell you, as soon as u get to middle school it all goes downhill. 6th grade is where it all started... we had maybe about 4 different math teachers through the year, and we could barely learn a THING. 7th grade it going to school became miserable we had a math teacher that was never there, and our science teacher was switched maybe 3 times. 8th grade we were barely taught a thing we had maybe one teacher that would teach us, and she wasn't even a full-on teacher she was just a helper and there only part time. Our science teacher was literally never there and the other two did very little. our social studies teacher always had an attitude, and our math teacher was always yelling and writing students up for small things and sometimes even nothing. They would blow whistles mostly science and social studies teacher right near students' ears. one time they did this my ears where ringing.

After raised 2 step sons through the CMS system in Huntersville from grades 5-12 in 2005-2013. It was mostly a nightmare. Then I had a daughter of my own and she was to start Kindergarten in 2020. I had heard mixed reviews about the former “Thunderbird Academy” but after meeting with the new staff a...
