Teaching staff is amazing my child requires extra time and help. The time and effort put into that has made a difference in his learning education. The programs in NC are like no other when it comes too making sure no child is left behind.

My kid attended this school after being very dissapointed how education was very poor when we moved from VA to southern NC, and then a year after attending polenta was a total change. He learned a lot, he made good friends, school is safe.

Staff and administrators truly care about the students. My son loves going to school and loves all of the special events and activities they have going on. There is clear communication between school and home.
