3/9/2025
Enka High School has some good teachers. I have bonded with several thru my years here. No sports or band for me. I loved being in choir and clubs.
3/13/2024
Enka High School is a good school. The classes available are nice and diverse, the teachers usually do a good job teaching the subject, and it is an overall pretty safe school.
1/15/2024
There are worse schools out there, and I think Enka is just alright. Good teachers can be found, and great teachers are definitely there, like Mr. Jones. The English department is a joke, but most teachers do genuinely try and strive for students' success. The building could be more decretive, it feels like the backrooms sometimes. Also shoutout to the wings.

This has been our personal experience with Enka High School, and I’d like to address both some concerns with Academics and School environment.As far as academics go-If you have a child or student who wants to go into the arts, I would suggest that Enka High School is not a good school for advancemen...
5/6/2015
This school is horrid. I am not pushed in any of my classes and my teachers act surprised when I ask for more work. My teachers have told my class that they do not expect us to pass the final exams. I am highly dissatisfied here. I cannot wait to switch school.
7/22/2014
Enka is amazing so far. Im going into my sophomore year and the school is great, my classmates are very....unique (; and AP classes are very well rounded. Can't wait for my 2nd year at Enka
8/29/2013
Fantastic school. I transferred to Enka my senior year, and started my first day without knowing a soul. By the end of my year, I did not want to leave. I had gone to a private catholic school in FL where I was extremely unhappy. Bullying was a huge issue at my prior school. Everyone at Enka was fri...
