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.

Central wake hs is a self paced school which helped me go at my own speed . its not a one size fits all school , its a small school and everyone their actaully cares about you and your success.Something that a lot of traditonal school cant offer you . This is a great school for students who have problems with regular schools or have issues in life that are complicating their education . Their number one goal is to get you a diploma . They are a alt school so they dont have any prom,sports or anything else .

I like how it is a save environment and we can learn at our pace. Also how we can go to either session, and how the teachers help us a lot in any type of subject or anything in life. They help us with college and personal things unlike other public schools.
