- #4 Best Charter High Schools in Raleigh AreaTMSA Triangle - Triangle Math and Science AcademyCary, NC·Public School·K-12·Rating 3.64 out of 5 53 reviewsJunior: Triangle math and science academy is a very solid charter school in the triangle area and deserves to be considered if you are a student looking to peruse an education in business, engineering, mathematics, or any other STEM subject. 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. Most of all however I love the way that TMSA allows its students to take ownership of what they do both in their classes, their clubs, and other programs such as Leader In Me....

- #5 Best Charter High Schools in Raleigh AreaFranklin AcademyWake Forest, NC·Public School·K-12·Rating 3.98 out of 5 247 reviewsAlum: As a recent graduate, I was at FA for all 13 years. It was very challenging from the start, and I can see in my younger siblings as well the stress that the school induces. However, the education we all received/are receiving is above the standard for public schools. I know I am set for college and a vast majority of my classmates are too. The variety of teachers keeps students on their toes and some are definitely more liked than others. But they all care about the students in different ways and looking back I can see this. I’m appreciative of the teachers I was taught by and the lessons I learned with them.The way certain subjects are taught makes it extremely stressful being an FA student, and at times it’s exceptionally boring.. The school spirit is also sort of nonexistent and the drama in the school genuinely spreads like wildfire. Staff and all students will know your drama if you have it.FA is a blessing and a curse....

Before I enrolled in my Sophom*ore year I couldn’t imagine how great my high school career would turn out to be. Those are the memories that would last for a lifetime. The high school campus is surprisingly, very small which makes it easy to navigate, and I had a chance to enjoy small classes. All the teachers are very nice and are always encouraging you to reach for the skies. I wish there were more classes, but considering how small the campus is I have trouble imagining how this will be implemented. I remember many people saying that I would enjoy my high school career and this turned out to be true! I am so glad I was a part of this journey and I am glad to be a bobcat!...

I enjoy going to this school for a variety of reasons. I like how small it is, a lot of the teachers are kind, understanding, and certainly hard working, and the environment isn't very toxic. I love how I have never felt unsafe going to school here in all of my years as a student. The best experience was the connection between Voyager and Durham Technical Community college. This was an amazing opportunity to get a feel for a college course, while still being in high school. My worst experiences is when they decided to switch from hot lunches(chick-fil-a, pizza inn, moes, etc.) to a healthier option that is not good. This mainly bothered me sophom*ore year because I wasn't able to drive yet but I believe they need to switch back to the normal food....
