Overall, Socrates Academy is a great school that puts a great focus on academics. There are lots of opportunities to join or even create clubs, and everyone is close to one another. The only downside is that Socrates Academy is a small school with limited funds, but even though there may be less variety of classes to pick from, the dual enrollment program is very useful in filling that gap, and Socrates Academy is still growing and making positive progress.

first off, i wanted rate this school a 0 but it wouldn't let me. let me start on the reasons why you shouldn't send your kid here, if you send your kids here you will destroy their life. maybe i'm exaggerating but this school DOES NOT care about your child's mental health they do not challenge the kids, and they are not "busy making your kids smarter" your kids are busy getting into trouble. they think they know what's good for your kid and they don't. my first reason is that the admin doesn't care about you and the kids are real mean, they think they run a "mafia". once you get into a bad situation you won't get OUT. they label you as a bad kid and suddenly your targeted by every admin. sadly, socrates was only good for elementary school but after 5th grade you should leave. they aren't academically strong enough to make your kid smarter. they honestly gave up on the kids after covid. everyday i went there i just wanted to leave. the only thing i miss about this school was the food.

One of the best charter schools in Charlotte area. My kid goes here and she loves it. Good school teachers.

I can't speak to the educational experience, but my experience trying simply to tour the middle school supports the reviews that suggest that parents (and future parents) are treated dismissively. I arrived about 5 minutes before the tour was to begin (it was a 10:00 tour). I was buzzed into the ves...

The teachers are very mean and do not teach the kids whatsoever. they just give them homework. Also the school can’t keep a teacher for more than 2 years before on quits

Good school. We are super happy that our kid goes to this school.

We have been at Socrates for 6yrs now, and its the best decision we made for our children's education. This is a wonderful school community, great teachers and wonderful Administration. My children are doing well at the school, the principal responses to message even with her busy schedule, I have a...
