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.

Worst school I ever could have sent my done to. Unaddressed bullying that was not rectified and followed through for a year and a half. Teachers do not have to have teaching degrees. What else do you want to know?

As a student at Southern Wake Academy, I feel the way the school handles things is very unprofessional and non-productive. The administration does not do anything to resolve any issues between the students unless the situation becomes physical. The teachers are rude and show lack of enthusiasm while...

As a student at southern wake academy, they way they handle things with the students are very poor and unprofessional. The administration does not do anything unless its about a school fight. The teachers are rude, horrible and don't know how to teach. The college readiness/preparation is horrible,...
