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.

Croatan is one of the best schools in the state for academics and athletics! I have been happy through my 4 years here.

It's a great school, but some rules are very out of pocket and it doesn't feel like they care as much as they say about the student views and wants

Opportunities for dual-enrollment and AP classes are amazing, but I do feel more funding should be placed in elective science courses such as Anatomy and Physiology rather than sports.

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.
