Founded in 1962 as Raleigh’s first integrated high school, Enloe High (Enloe) is a highly sought-after magnet school serving approximately 2,600 gifted and talented students in the King Charles neighborhood of east Raleigh.
It offers a 17:1 student-teacher ratio, an international baccalaureate (IB) program rich with electives, extracurriculars and more than 30 sports teams. Enloe prides itself on its variety of choices from advanced placement to eight world languages, and an enviable arts program including chorus, piano, dance and orchestra. Enloe is the only Wake County high school offering robotics classes, and other electives such as marine biology, genetics and sports medicine. Enloe students even produce their own live TV show that has been nominated for an Emmy.
Despite the school’s size and array of choices, students and alumni often mention that Enloe focuses on building a community where everyone belongs.
With a 94% graduation rate, and abundance of resources, Enloe is well-equipped to help prepare students for bright futures. However, the school remains humble at heart, serving a student body where one-third qualify for free lunch.
In order to give back, part of the Enloe tradition is to host a now-famous charity ball that, since its inception, has raised over $1 million to help support homeless teenagers.
At Enloe, your student can discover many ways to make the most of a host of opportunities.

Enloe highschool is a great school for high achievers and those who enjoy the arts. They also have many programs for those who want to be more involved in stem subjects. It is a great school for those who want to put the effort in and reach for the stars. But it also creates a mindset that you need to be perfect making it hard for people to see how well they are actually doing. The school pushes you to try hard but more often than not it pushes you over a cliff. So it can be hard to find a balance here. But the teacher try hard to help and make the class experience alot better.

This school is so good for STEM, but what it has in academics it lacks in real-world experience and skills-building.

My experience at Enloe High School was very helpful. I felt like being a student here gave me access to lots of new resources and clubs, that let me hone in on what I wanted to pursue in the future.

Perhaps the instruction will improve in my child's senior year, but, thus far, the science instruction has been poor. My child's chemistry teacher, perhaps the one referenced in another review, states that the classroom is "flipped," which actually means that the students are instructed watching ass...

The real challenge for Enloe, as with all NC public schools, is that it has been systematically defunded by the state government. And we are now diverting money that could go to teacher raises or improved facilities to private school vouchers. So when I see complaints about instructor quality I reme...

This is a very large school. When I was young, I went to a big high school too, so this wasn't intimidating. However, I can understand why some families might feel that way. One of the biggest drawbacks about Enloe are the STEM teachers. My student is a good student, but unfortunately had several ST...

My child is a Senior and even though he is still happy to go to school, he has had teachers that have been awesome but a few that just didn’t care. Despite me trying to contact one of the teachers with no response. I know there are many students but my child is not finding the support he needs. More...
