Rating 4.05 out of 5 55 reviews
My experience with Catawba County Schools was mostly good. I think the best part was the teachers. All of my teachers taught us well and were willing to have conversations and answer questions. I think the parts I would change would be the buildings themselves. When I attended, they were usually older and kind of worn down.
In some school buildings, there are multiple doors open for entry to anyone all over the place. Granted, there are signs that say "for *this school's* student entry only" but would that stop a criminal? I think there should be designated doors for entering and exiting.
The best part of my experience is being able to hang out with my friends at the school and being able to got to the football games and the worst part of my experience is the school days are so long and what I would like to see is shorter school days
