I have two kids one is now in High School at Northwood but he was at Moncure I have another who is still there the staff works really hard to help the parents of the children. I wish the school was more updated in some areas but, it's a hometown school and my kids love it at Moncure School.

Before raising my own children, I worked as a high school teacher and teacher's assistant for an elementary and middle school. An often overlooked indicator of a great school is teacher retention, and I know that Moncure keeps good teachers because they are supported by administration and parents. The PTA has done an outstanding job at raising funds for technology, athletics, and arts programs that would otherwise be omitted due to state-wide budget cuts. Most of all, I love that Moncure is small enough that every child is valued and instruction is customized for individual abilities to ensure everyone is learning.

I have worked at several different schools in the Chatham County area and this school is by far the most student driven school I have ever seen. I wish we were in this district so my children could have attended because this school works together as one. Each employee no matter what the label takes care of each and every child. If every school had the dedication that this school does it would change the way we educate our children.

Moncure School is a wonderful school. Some say it's the best kept scret in Chatham County NC. The staff is the greatest and parents well enough can't be said about them. Even though, Moncue is a small school it's strive for excellant is nothing but the best. The community of Moncure should be very proud of their wonderful school, staff and students.

The school has a caring atmosphere and the principal is very involved with the running of the school and seems to be involved personally with the children. The receptionists are also very kind and proficient at their jobs.
