This school has 3 new principals and they are really super leaders. (2016-2017) A wonderful school! When you alk into the building it has artwork from the children on the walls and large canvas paintings that promote school leadership and learning. The principals are very friendly, have a lot of energy and are caring. The teachers work hard and stay late often. It is a fairly young group of teachers who have plenty of experience teaching. Teachers care about the kids. Lots of people helping to teach kids to to master the English language. Parent organization and community all help this school. They are worth helping- these kids and their teachers are awesome!!!! If you have a child coming to this school I recommend becoming involved and getting to know who the teachers are and who the additional staff is. Support them and help them and this will be the most awesome school around because of the care that people put into it.

Worst school to ever send your child to. Took our son out in January 2014 the principal nkr the teachers cared that our child was being picked on and the kids kept stealing his snack and no one ever tried to resolve the situation. They also would not allow our son to wear the sold color sweater coat we bought for him so he would be cold during lunch. He has medical issues with being cold and even with speaking to the principal and teacher he was still not able to wear the jacket except in the class room. There are other charter school in the area please please use think twice before putting your child in this school.

I LOVE J.Glenn Edwards. Edwards is a uniform school and think it helps with structure and keeps the children on the same level. My two children have attended this school for the past 3 school years and I could not be more pleased. I have experienced teachers from every grade due to how my childrens grades have overlapped and have no complants. In my opinion Edwards is the best school in Lee County.

This is the worst school environment any of my children have ever been in. We are a military family, have been in many different schools in. Even with 2 high schoolers, we have never had a problems. My 3rd grade child had privileges such as going to recess or being able to talk during lunch taken away due to not understanding, on her second day, that she was supposed to bring a workbook page to lunch with her. She was forced to walk in front of the class and write her name on the board and allowed only to walk around in one parking space during lunch for misunderstanding the instructions. This in only one example. She wakes up in the night or cannot sleep because she is afraid that her homework is not perfect and she will have privileges taken. RED FLAG! I have spoken to the teacher numerous times, who is condescending and appears not to care about my concerns. She states that I am the first one who has had a problem in the 14 years she has been there. I have tried to speak with the principal who is always too busy and never returns phone calls. We will be homeschooling until we can relocate to Pinehurst. PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH before sending your child here.
