Discipline should not be an issue. Students should respect others and failure to do so should not be tolerated. Students need to understand school and class rules and expectations, and adhere to them. This is an important issue that should have a better approach.

Overall, I have enjoyed my experience at Ravenscroft school. The teachers and staff members are kind, well qualified, and have great people skills. If I could change anything about the school it would be the limited diversity within the student body.

My son goes to Cary Academy, but have visited this school. I personally think this school is fantastic. Great Sports, Great Academics, Great Food. Nothing else more you could want. I ended up sending my son to Cary Academy, because it was an easier drive in the morning. The arts are amazing. Great choir and great musicals. Ravenscroft is overall the best in North Carolina.

Ravenscroft is a great school for high education and the teachers are interactive and very helpful. I only gave three stars because there's a lot of sexual harassment, racist, and homophobic comment made by some of the students at the school. This was my experience there as a 7th grader.
