Southern Pines Elementary School

If I had to rate this school it would be -1

The security of the buildings is questionable. There is no reason the students should be sent to open the doors for adults coming into the building. Also, the office staff is not very friendly. Despite that, the teachers that we have had experience with were wonderful.

Dedicated teachers, and lots of guidance for parents to help their child succeed. Great variety of after school clubs. Lots of options for all kids to find a club doing what they love. Honestly, I'm surprised they offer so much considering most public schools cut everything now a days.

SPE takes quality, personalized education to a new level. The principal's best quality is the atmosphere that she fosters at the school - one of communication and cooperation, with parents, teachers and students alike. There is a wide range of after school opportunities available and participation is encouraged. The proximity to downtown SP provides numerous opportunities for walking field trips and exploration. The teachers are almost all superb quality, as are the specials teachers and other staff. I am very glad that my children have had the opportunity to attend SPE.
