Ravenscroft School, Raleigh | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

We are finishing up our third year at Ravenscroft (K-2) and could not be happier with our choice in sending our son there. The teachers are among the most caring and hard working in the area. Even with small class sizes (15) the teachers divide up their classes in several subjects to assure that everyone’s learning level is kept at a challenging pace. As a former private and public school teacher in NY & NC I can say with certainty that Ravenscroft is among the best of any school in either category. Ravenscroft has a very strong Fine Arts program, even in Lower School. What is most exciting is the new Lead From Here initiative that Ravenscroft is developing with the Center for Creative Leadership. I have seen many positive changes in my son as it relates to working with others through collaboration, communication and cooperation. The goal of the program is to intertwine leadership skills into their already rigorous academic program to produce a generation of citizen leaders who will be responsible for running an increasingly complex and diverse World. Other schools in the area have strong academics, some of them strong fine art, but none of them have a robust leadership program like Ravenscroft!

Ravenscroft is a great school! We feel extremely blessed to have our children here. The entire staff are qualified and have the children’s best interest in mind. Since being at Ravenscroft, we no longer have anxiety wondering if the education and environment are right. We do however shed tears of JOY when we see how not only our children, but all the children grow. It is quite touching Education, professionalism of staff and administration, nurse and physician, security are all top notch! Only wish we had taken the step to join the Ravenscroft community sooner. You will not find a better school. Our children never complain of being bored. They are challenged and engaged in so many ways! Parent portal is a wonderful tool providing so much information about school. They do a great job keeping you informed. Also, the cafeteria is wonderful with many options for lunch. So, if you haven’t toured the school, please do. You will instantly see the difference compared to other schools and you will long to have the opportunity for your children here. Again, I can’t say enough about the greatness of the school.
