Hornets Nest Elementary

Excellent school . Good staff. Good teachers. Good activities in school.

My daughter started kindergarten last year and has graduated to the first grade. What she has learned from K is amazing. She is reading, writing, I am amazed she can do all that at her age. I don't recall reading when I was in kindergarten.

I was hesitant to enroll my son here because of low rating, but we didn't have any other option . It has turned out to be a great school! ALL of the staff have been nothing but nice. They always take care of my sons needs and Especially Miss Sankary is very supportive person who was the Class Teacher for my son. They run a very tight ship at Hornets Nest. My son is in first grade, and he has no complaints about being at this school and he learned lot of good things. Thank you for Great Teaching!!!!!

So I think this school gets a bad rap when you look at the ratings given by the state. I was slightly worried but when you look at the schools previous ratings prior to when NC changed how often and what kind of testing is done, the ratings were better. We've had a great experience so far this year. My daughter was enrolled in kindergarten and her teacher Mrs. Tucker has been wonderful. I've had limited interaction with the principal but she's alway been very friendly when I have spoken to her. The front office is helpful and so are the staff who help with those kids who are car riders. I can't rate other teachers or experiences with riding the bus.
