I am a student in Weddington Middle and overall I am very happy that we settled on this school. I have many friends and all the teachers are very kind, helpful and experienced. Over all there is a very good atmosphere to learn and it gives private school vibes. If you are new to the Charlotte area/South Charlotte this is a must recommend area that feels a bit like the Northeast. All in all, a good environment to grow up.

I'm a parent and my child started here last year for the first time as a 7th grader. We moved from a very highly ranked school in Miami, Florida and I wasn't sure if this school would be as good. It wasn't as good, it was WAY better. What do we appreciate about the school? It's extremely well kept,...

The counselors barley helped with actual mental health issues. the counselors office was comforting but still. This school needs to get a better disciplinary act...
