Banoak Elementary

It is my understanding that talking is not allowed even at outdoor field trips. It is not allowed at lunch. Granddad missed lunch with granddaughter because he did not see her. She was afraid to call to him or wave, He drove 100 miles just for that lunch. Communication between teachers and parents is lacking. And since when is sitting on your feet an offense requiring pulling strips. Is this a socialist school.

Banoak is a great school! I have one child who has graduated from Banoak and 2 more that are currently attending Banoak. The teachers are some of the best in the county. They really care about the students and challenging them to be the best they can be. Our principal, Dyanne Sherrill,strives to make sure each child is recognized for their good behavior and/or grades. The students love her and her love for them shows daily as well. It's such a pleasure to see students come in and seek out staff members to give them a hug and say good morning. To me that speaks volumes. My children have been challenged to their full potential each year. The county does not recognize the school because we are out in the county and they tend to forget about us. Our school does need some improvements but the county looks over that most of the time. Our PTO has been a huge support for the school. They are very good about providing what items are needed to help enchance the learning of the students or well being of the students. Overall, I love this school and I'm very thankful that my children have been a part of it.
