  1. #21 Best Public High Schools in North CarolinaJohnston County Early College AcademyJohnston County Public Schools, NC•9-12•Rating 4.39 out of 5 120 reviewsSenior: Johnston County Early College Academy was the best decision I could have made for entering high school. The school is a welcoming environment and while it is daunting, it is manageable. Moreover, the teachers, principal and fellow classmates are all so tightly knit that the school feels like a large family at times. While I will say the school is stressful and the work is hard at times, I believe it is all worth it for the great experiences I have had. I have laugh until I couldn't breathe, I have cried multiple times from the stress of work and I have met some of the greatest people who I am still friends with till this day. Nevertheless, the school is still worth it and is definitely the best....

However, as the neighborhood grows it is getting more and more difficult to get out of the neighborhood due to school traffic in the morning and afternoon. The school itself has been around for over 16 years and is still in fair condition. The teachers are very kind and do care about students.

  5. #213 Best Public Middle Schools in North CarolinaThe Innovation Academy at South CampusJohnston County Public Schools, NC•6-8•Rating 5 out of 5 1 reviewAlum: I went to this school from 2018 - 2021, I loved my experience here and I've never gained so many close friends so quickly! The teachers I had were extremely caring and they would always check-in on us if we needed help and everyone would be on the same track. In most of the classes, we had the option to be ahead of what the teacher was currently teaching and some of us were able to finish the curriculum early and move on to the next grade's curriculum. There was also an AVID class that we had from 7th-8th, I'm not sure if it's still there anymore.Though, I wish there were better club options and some sports. I understand that they don't since the clubs are run by someone who works in the school or a PTA and the sports aren't there since the school is still fairly new. There was a cheer team and that was it.Overall, I love this school and I miss it a TON.

I had never been more excited to go to school until I walked the halls of this fairly new school. I have connected with every teacher I have had, and I have made plenty of friends along the way. I give thanks to the amazing falculaty and their constant envolvment with the school. Our sports teams are even more exciting.

The staff really seems to care for students and their growth and well-being and I am impressed with their support of the math and sciences. Like most schools, they are more sport-oriented. There are a lot of opportunities available but all students need to be made more aware of them. There is still an issue of the local religion continuously seeping into the school at odd times. From a christian painting on a yearbook cover, to certain teachers sending out biblical texts, to teachers ignoring bullying from religious kids, people of different backgrounds are not as welcomed/included.
