Southern Wake Academy was a great school for me, but most likely wouldn't be for most people. The teachers and faculty are mediocre at best, but there were a few in the past that were diamonds among the rough. The available education is not the best, and the building was also sub-par. But Southern Wake Academy does have its small size going for it. My class was only 72 people, which made it very easy to get to know everyone, and have a close-knit group of friends that I still stay in touch with to this day. I loved this school due to my experiences at it, but I know I would've had a better education and maybe even a more pleasant experience elsewhere.

I like how Southern Wake Academy has a variety of classes of academics and great electives like Art, Spanish, Zoology, and many others!

Southern Wake Academy is a school that allows for a deeper connection between the teachers and students. Many teachers at Southern Wake Academy are thoughtful and the student body is generally responsible and well-mannered. The school buildings are clean and so is the general atmosphere.

Do not send your kids to southern wake academy because it is a bad school and unorganized school and bad teachers.
11/15/2022
The school has gone through a lot of changes in the past few years, including personnel changes. It seems like things are getting on track and problems that had previously existed have been addressed and solved. What's really important to me is how the teachers treat their students, and that's alway...
