- #1 Best Public High Schools in North CarolinaNorth Carolina School of Science and MathematicsDurham, NC·Public School·11-12·Rating 4.46 out of 5 189 reviewsSenior: The best part of moving away from home at 16 to attend NCSSM-M has easily been the relationships and connections that are formed here. Learning to be independent at the same time as your peers helps to forge strong bonds, unlike any I had at my home school. I have been introduced to traditions and holidays from all over the world, something I never had the opportunity to learn about in my small town of Boone. Not only did I bond with my peers, but because of my small class sizes I made great connections with many of my teachers. Working with teachers who have PhDs has been a huge privilege, although one issue I continued to notice was that math teachers with advanced doctorates in knot theory and more, struggled to teach the basics to students who were just beginning with calculus. Our school will only hire teachers with at least a master's degree, but almost none of them have a degree in education, which I believe has set back the progress many of the students here could have made....

I was welcomed in by the students and faculty with warm and open hands. Throughout the years I was there, a vast network of clubs and activities were set up. My class was the first graduating class from Green Level so there were things that the staff learned from us to improve the experience of other incoming students. I was on the varsity tennis and basketball team through my years there for which I had feedback that hopefully reflected in change. Our basketball team went through coach changes- which do happen- but you never expect it to happen at the end of the first year of the school's operation. My tennis team's coach was the parent of one of the athletes on the team and I think that caused an imbalance on the team when a player that was better than their child got a spot on the team. Overall, I suggested that we have unbiased coaches so that this incident would not happen again....

The school is great for preparing students for college and their careers by offering college level CTE courses from PLTW. If you are interested in DECA or FBLA, triangle math and science boasts top chapters in both of those competitions. The main waypoint of this school is its lack of resources and facilities as it is not even done being built as of right now. This can mostly be attributed to its small size which gives it the advantage of allowing every student to get to know everyone else and feel more at home compared to schools with 2,000+ students.
