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.

Cape Hatteras Secondary offered multiple clubs and sports for students to participate in. They go out of their way to offer courses online if they don't have them available to take in person. Overall, Its a really great Secondary School.

I enjoyed my time here. The teachers were highly involved in student education due to how small the school was.

We are more than just a school, but we are a community. When something really good happens to a student or faculty member, or something really bad happens, the whole school is there for them. It's something pretty special.
