Endeavor Charter School

This school has a lot of great qualities, BUT if you have a child that is a bit "different" beware! This school is full of economically-privileged, North Raleigh families. Children who are not into sports or the latest cool consumer trend are openly ostracized. The administration does very little to try and deal with these problems. My child developed anxiety problems from the social and academic stress imposed by this school. I know there are others who have endured this as well. Teachers are for the most part very caring but there seems to be some rigidity imposed by administration that has resulted in a high teacher turnover. If your child is well-adjusted and deals with social pressure well, this school is fine. But if not, be ready for many tearful nights-the small class size makes the teasing all the more ruthless and hard to take. My child is attending a regular public school in Raleigh now and is thriving.

Great School. We have been very happy at Endeavor. It feels like a community and my son feels very at home there. They have challenging academics, smaller class sizes, caring and committed teachers, and plenty of parental support and involvment. In addition, they foster a hands-on learning approach and offer a lot of unique curriculum based fields trips which allow the students to learn the curriculum at a deeper level. We feel very blessed to be a part of such an amazing school.

I have three children at Endeavor and feel very blessed to have had the opportunity for them to attend this incredible school. The teachers are warm and truly do care about each child. The administration is very open and always has a door open policy and is involved with every student and parent. This school has excellent teachers, a strong principal and an academic program like no other.

Extremely healthy school environment, teachers & administration very involved in supervision and making sure kids treat each other with respect, zero tolerance for bullying. Kids are accepting of all kinds of differences. Academically, some teachers are willing to assess student's individual needs & provide appropriate challenge and/or remediation. Teachers communicate & update assignments online. I'm happy with the school overall.

We couldn't be happier at Endeavor! Fantastic teachers, active parents and small class size set this school apart from most in the area. We honestly feel like we have won the lottery by our kids getting in! My kids love to go to school and it is amazing to see how eager they are to learn with the 'hands on' currculm. Very safe and nuturing academic environment.

We feel very blessed to have been able to get into Endeavor. We have a 7th grader, 2nd grader, and an upcoming Kindergartener coming this July. We feel the academic emphasis and overall philosophy is what separates Endeavor from other schools. They have small class sizes so the teacher can actually teach. It is very much a family atmosphere and we feel confident leaving our children in such capable hands. The teachers are very didicatedandthe parent involement is outstanding. The teachers have to turn help down sometimes which isn't a bad thing. Endeavor has not even been open for 1 year, yet runs as it were open for 10!!!
