Anne Bynoe: I haven't lived here long, had a chance to visit this school, and it to be an enlightening experience. I'm glad I had the chance to be there.

Aiad Alkablany: I neve been ther

Sara Gibson: I graduated from E.E. Smith in 1998. My son just graduated with the class of 2016. This is an excellent school that goes way above and beyond for their students. Mrs. Faircloth is an excellent teacher in the special needs department. She went to great lengths to make sure my son and his peers achieved greatness. My son who is autistic was crowned Prom King. That shows the love and compassion that the student body has for their peers. Melody Chalmers is a fantastic principal who deserves every accolade she can receive. I would give this school 10 stars if I could!!

Keariasmith Smith: Smith bruh... Anyone remember the fire from the science class? And all the fights that happen the too much joking around in class I love smith but I hate the lack of learning that's going on in the classrooms behind the sean

Gerhard Guevarra: EE Smith works very hard to educate each of their students. Many students are successful at EE Smith, don't let ratings and scores dictate if you think a school that is good for your child. Please visit the school and make that decision.

Mason Phillip Mendiola: horiable school has too many classes that are interrupted by immature students

JALEN BAKER: Class of 2015 proud to be A golden bull!!!!

Chris Felder: Awesome school....Mrs. Chalmers has changed my children's life in education. Thanks for all you do!

Ali Sabla: My time at this school has been rather mixed. I tend to keep to myself, so I don't deal with fights, drama, etc, and I'm a more so well behaved student. That being said, that does not mean that teachers will always show a nice attitude towards you, but that's to be expected; students can be rather.. Terrible, causing fights, or just doing unnecessary things.However, I'm not saying fights happen everyday at this school, that'd be a false thing to say. Fights do happen still, and some may even consider it to be a "regular thing", unfortunately enough. Administration is fine, at least from my personal experience, though sometimes can be a mixed bag. The same goes with teachers, though for the most part, most of the teachers I've had here haven't been bad.Am I saying Westover Highschool is an amazing school? Absolutely not, that's a lie and everyone should know that. Still, I'm not saying its the worst school either. It could be better.

Skyler Prebble: Im a student there and it sucks had me waiting out side when it was 17ºf for like an hour recommend mot coming to the school.

ThedarkAngel 090: They can listen to music that helps people work u know if I was principals I let them listen to music when they want

leah: Unprofessional homophobic rude cannot believe how some administrators act towards kids terrible school

Gilberto Diaz Castro: To you parent looking for a school I ask, don't mind the negative reviews by disgruntled student who didn't get away with being disrespectful or evil in school.My daughter graduates this year being No. 4 out of over 270 students graduating in 2017. I was able to mentor students, attend events, work with students doing their graduation projects and to interact with the teachers in many matters that came up with the projects. Having been involved with the Engineering Academy for the past four years I must say I'm pleased beyond thought. The teachers my daughter has had during her four years here have been excellent. The Academy Director, Mrs. J. dedicates her ALL her time and more to ensure the students have all the possible options available to them, from Job Shadowing, Mentoring by actual Electrical, Mechanical and Programming Engineers; that the Robotics Team has the finances needed to continue the competitions each year. The main teachers in that department, Mr. Barfield and Mrs. Barron, are by far some of the best teachers I've had to deal with. They are Engineers who have decided to teach the newer generations what they have learned in over fifty years of combined experience in the manufacturing field. In a nut shell, from the janitorial, to the front desk staff to the teaching staff I could not have had a better experience.I must agree, they do have some hard to deal with students but it is the lack of parenting skills that allow these young men and women to grow the way they are growing, not the lack of professionalism on behalf of the school system. I know that all the students who decided to study instead of hanging out at the have done great. I've met a young man who had a pending patent on a product he designed, this earned him a FULL Scholarship to NC Chapel Hill Univ. I've met a young lady who's professionalism helped her gather over $80k on scholarships before she graduated. I've seen children with extraordinary situations helped until they were able to overcome whatever was impeding their learning, I"m talking 100% involvement from the school staff to help solve the issues until the best interest of the student was met.I've seen my daughter go from a little girl to a grown, mature young lady any parent would love to have for a daughter, I'm glad God have her to me. Equal to her, many young ladies showed up and excelled in the Robotics team; wining several trophies through the years. They have a great go-get-it attitude that nothing can stop.

Nacirema Roberts: This school is not that bad boys are good looking and the kids in the school are Funny I don't know how you can hate this school

Sokhna Bousso: Academically, not good. Kids don't listen to the teachers, they be on their phone the whole class period, cheating all the time, teachers too be lazy( some of them). However, it's a really fun school, everybody's cool, nice, friendly... long story short, If you want a school where you can have fun and do less work, go here. But if you're a nerd and really take your studies serious, Then it is not for you.

Egypt Stovall: Loved this school dance class was the best class

Devon M: oh god that place

Randy Garcia: Friends & family talks about how great Jack Britt is. The people who works at the counselor office are not professional at all. They gossip around. Not helpful at all.

Pansophy Tiole: Jack Britt is most definitely the best school in Cumberland County. I've been to three different high schools for all three of my years so far, but the people and academics here are like the rest. This is not a school of choice if you are not an extremely promising student so don't get your hopes up on going here if you don't live in the district.

Madi Devericks: I am currently a student at jack Britt and I can say the academics are wonderful. Their focus however is so off when it comes to funding sports over arts and education. Some teachers are not there for your best interest. Problems go unsolved and bullying can be real. The academics are great though.

Jennifer Taylor: I graduated from Jack Britt in 2017 and the school itself is pretty okay. They'll help you when you need it but my senior year I noticed that a lot of the teachers and staff get an attitude for no reason. I stayed after school one time so my English teacher my senior year could critique my essay. Not only did she critique my essay but she also ended up critiquing my life, asking if my parents were forcing me to go to college and stuff like that (no they aren't). When I actually graduated high school and started the enrollment process into the university I want to go to, the university told me that they needed my final transcript to complete the enrollment process and to complete my financial aid. I called Jack Britt and the lady on the phone got such an attitude! I told her that my university is saying that they still don't have my final transcript and she says "Well I sent it out on June 22nd. I don't understand how they don't have it." I explained to her that they received a transcript, but that it wasn't my final one. The final transcript has to say "graduation date 6/9/2017" but the one Britt sent said "EXPECTED graduation date." She asked "did you call them?" I said that I emailed them and she responded back with "Well call them" and then she hung up. I stuck with emailing because calling really isn't going to make a difference in my opinion. About 2 weeks later, still no transcript in sight and I need my financial aid in order to pay my tuition which is due in about 1 week and a half. I go up to Jack Britt and the lady gets an attitude. "I sent it out on the 22nd. I sent it out the 22nd. All the transcripts got sent out on the 22nd. Come behind the desk, I have your transcript right here. You can look at it yourself." I looked at my transcript and it says "expected graduation date." I pointed it out and she said mine was the only one out of 500 graduates that still said that. She started printing off the correct transcript and asks "Do you want to mail it or do you want me to mail it?" I said that it doesn't matter, whichever way is more convenient. She yells "Well it's printing right now! I need an answer!" I said that she can mail it and she apologizes for the mix up and everything. A couple days later, still no transcript in sight. I'm tired of Britt messing around and not getting anything done. I'm not the only graduate who has had this problem either. I have until August 3rd to pay my tuition and I need my transcript in order to do so. It is currently July 21st. Because of Britt's "I don't care" attitude, I may not be able to go to my classes come August 21st. They don't care about their students at all. My university should've had my transcript by now unless Britt didn't send it out. I have mailed multiple things out to my university and they would receive it the next day so I don't understand why it's taking so long for my university to receive my transcript. So yeah, I wouldn't recommend Britt to anybody.

alexis burns: Looks very nice and seems like a great school heard some many good things about this school can't wait till next year

John MacMillan: Teachers genuinely care about their students success

Wanda Knafelc: As a parent of a child who goes to the school I am very disheartened by some of the services that are not provided to special education children. I have a big problem when you ask a teacher to do something as easily as making sure a student puts their homework in their planner because this is one of the challenging areas a student has and the answer I got was I have a hundred and fifty other students. Supposedly there's supposed to be an IEP teacher in the classes with my daughter so I don't understand what the issue is. Also they don't always follow the IEP. My daughter is supposed to be allowed an extra day if needed though I don't encourage it but her math teacher in 9th grade would not allow it. There for my daughter failed 9th grade math. If you are a student who excels in education then this school is for you but if you are a student who struggles with any area of Education parents beware because you will not get any assistance from any body including the principal or assistant. This school is very overrated. Before moving here, which by the way I did not move here due to military reasons, I did research and Jack Britt was one of the best schools in the area, or so I thought. Boy did I get egg in the face on that one. I just want to say that they are definitely not the best school in the area and unfortunately I don't know what school is. My suggestion is prior to move into an area make sure you do your research and read the comments, especially the low rated comments to see why people are not satisfied with a school.

Papi Quay: BORING

Matthew Huffman: Probably one of the top 2 high schools in Cumberland County.

Shelisa Hardy: Best school in Fayetteville

SSC: Kids seem to get along very well. Glad they got rid of flag stomping Frances.The other teachers are great.

Jon: Honestly, I love this school and recent events should have nothing to do with the rating. Mr. Francis should not have done what he did but it was only one person. The real disgraces are the people who reviewed the school with a one star and commented something stupid like " their teachers step on flags" or "the others teachers should be disgraced for being a part of this school". This exactly why people blew this out of proportion, they wanted attention. Now they got it, and look at these no lives bombing the reviews just because of one person"s action. You are actually more of a disgrace than him, messing up the review of an excellent school just to say ignorant stuff. The sad thing is that many people overreacted causing the news to jump in, and now we have idiots like this in the review section, screwing it up, despite not knowing the environment of it, and probably don't even live in the same state. Tired of you no lives.

Taylor Johnson: As a graduate of this high school, I was and am still proud of the teachers who challenge their students to think for themselves. Wonderful school, and wonderful teachers.

JXtheNetwork: i dont think people should talk about the flag unless they know what actually happened just sayin

Renee Grayson (Renee): Recent events have nothing to do with the quality of education at this school. If people think that the US Constitution is only meant for certain Americans and not for all Americans, than may I suggest you read the US Constitution several times over and get back to me. Although that teacher went about it in unorthodox way, his actions and the results of his actions have been a perfect lesson for people to learn from. It has definitely shown who knows the US Constitution and who doesn't.

Carolyn Rose-Grayson: As a student of Massey Hill Classical, I will always support my school and its staff. At Massey Hill we believe in furthering our knowledge on various topics and issues. Please take the following into consideration.

sydney rose: I love my school. I'm still a student and there is encouragement everywhere. This school encourages you to be yourself and to express yourself. We are one big, happy family

Julia: Ridiculous

Jesse Lesueur: anti american

Leilani Whisenant: A Disgrace!

Barnes Brooks: If faculty at this institution are so obtuse as to believe that it is acceptable to disrespect the symbol that represents the values to which this Nation aspires then they should not be in charge of molding our childrens impressionable minds.

Joel Doutrich: I hope the rest of the staff is ashamed to be a part of this school. Disgusting

D. B.: Massey Hill Classical High School in Fayetteville, NC. The new history teacher there (Mr. Francis) asked students if they had a lighter (they said no, they aren't even allowed in school), then when there was no lighter he asked for scissors. When there were no scissors he took the flag and stomped all over it. He is saying this was teaching First Amendment rights. I called the Principal Dr. Adams and asked her why he couldn't have talked about it and not actually disrespect the flag like that and she completely stood up for him. Excuse me, THIS is part of their curriculum?!?! A few students left the classroom and one took the flag with them and asked that it properly taken care of. With the County getting so much funding for our military kids at this school, I ask the question of mutual respect, nothing less, nothing more. That flag might not mean anything to that teacher, but it means a lot to us and it means a lot to the family's who had their service member come home to them in a casket with that flagged draped over it. The principal told me I will not be allowed to know what happens with this teacher because my student was not in his classroom. I told her that she is in charge of her school, her teachers, and I should have the right to know what is going on in my child's school. I asked if she would be letting the superintendent in on this and she stated "No, this is an in house matter."Via Sarah Taylor
