GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 gotten to be a part of some amazing academic, musically talented and artistically talented groups. Our sports teams are all equally as talented in their individual sports and the school has tons of spirit for its players. There are so many supportive people their who lift each other up.

Great teachers and staff. My daughter had a dream of graduating Croatan but was bullied right out the door by a gang of 9th grade girls. No wonder bullying is the number one cause of school age suicide! Schools need to take action before these shootings occur.
