GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

My teachers and guidance have helped me to accomplish my goals. I enjoy my school; I feel they met students where they are at and offer increased educational opportunities.

A majority of enrolled students at Neuse Charter do not appreciate the luxury of attending NCS. As a charter school, they work to excel any public school expectations and standards. I have built strong relationships with many of my teachers and gained a trust that is seldomly seen at a high school level. The foundation of the school is strong, despite any minor flaws it has on the outside. I have grown a love for many of the people, courses, and communities within the school.

I have two children attending NCS since kindergarten and we have had nothing but wonderful experiences with both kids. We love the teachers and staff. They keep the parents in the loop and do everything in their power to ensure the success of my kid's academics and provide the support needed. After...

Avoid. They talk a good game, but leadership is abysmal. Administration is disorganized and unresponsive. Communication is non-existent. I feel bad for the teachers, as they seem to care for their students and they try to motivate them to do their best. They do not get the support they need. I can't...
