The best part of my experience at Patton were the teachers that helped us become better students, the worst part would be the lack of diversity compared to other schools.
4/3/2024
Robert L Patton was a great high school the only thing that made it bad was other students. Everyone is gonna come across people that cause problems but they don't see to care to much to help you with them at patton.
8/30/2023
Good staff and management. I feel safe on campus and I feel like most teachers understand what they are teaching and how to teach it. Most students are well-behaved and eager to learn. Overall, a wonderful educational environment.

It is a good school yet the only problems I’ve noticed from students and staff alike is how truly degrading some students can be to others. The teachers like to make smart remarks to students, and the principal only seems to come up with more strict rules and guidelines every so often that only nega...

I was extremely concerned about my son attending a public school in Burke county ( we came from the Chapel Hill school system). Patton is beautiful, clean and has a visually inspiring environment. The teachers in the advanced classes ( AP; Honors) have been outstanding. They show dedication, knowled...

The comment written below is making statements that are simply false. "the first African American Football Coach was greeted with racial slurs" is absolutely untrue. The student and parents at Patton welcomed this coach with open arms. Any negative reaction to his arrival at the school is due to the...

Patton is an OK High school - only average really. Almost all the teachers came from Freedom High (the sister school to Patton in Morganton). Those teachers were good at Freedom, and they continue to do a good job at Patton. There is a rumor that Patton is "a better school" than Freedom, but statist...
