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 have lived my four years at South Garner. The school is very nice, with welcoming staff and administrators. Our choral program is top notch and has helped me grow as a singer. The one thing I'd like to change is communication. Our school uses social media a lot to communicate and not all students and/or parents use social and this can be an issue.

In the short time I've been there it seems like they are really unorganized. They ended up messing my schedule up more times than I can count in the beginning of the school year. However the teachers and school culture is nice I just wish they communicated and were a little more organized
