8/20/2024
Enka High School had poor diversity in students and most likely overall for the general area. Multiple teachers doubled as coaches. Teachers varied on their expertise.
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.
10/2/2020
This school offers multiple AP courses as well as Distance learning credits. Students such as myself can receive dual credit and save money on college courses. Along with the courses offered there are many clubs, sports, and quality class time with teachers.

This school doesn't hold to their anti-bullying policies, a student that's bullied and have other students put their hands on your child. The staff,from teachers to principals DO NOT CARE about your child or what they face coming to school here. If your child gets bullied and hands put on them and y...

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
