Neuse Charter School

This is an excellent school for students that need to be accelerated (grade skip or single -subject acceleration). It is a college-prep school, so they expect you to value the importance of a quality education, collaborate, and work hard. Their standard is higher than most public schools in Johnston County. It is K-12, so wonderful to have all your children on the same campus/location and calendar. Most of the board members are vested and have their children enrolled as well. Public charter schools only receive 70% of what traditional public schools receive and cannot receive bond or lottery money, so they depend on the community to support. Our children have attended this school for 6 academic years - no regrets in making the change.

My boys went from hating school to loving school. Every teacher challenges them to do their best. They get the grades they deserve. Teachers have high expectations and many parents and students aren't used to this. The school allows children to make mistakes and learn from them. Beyond providing students with an awesome education (with hands on learning), they are instilling work ethic and preparing them for the "not so nice" real world. No school is perfect, but Neuse Charter is perfect for my family.
