my daughter was bullied by a kid from a generous donor and they didn't do anything to fix it...they are like that.....if you donate they are nice, if you dont they are not. also their academics are not that good....the building is really nice, the gym too, the ammenities are superb....but the education is not. They tend to punish instead of fixing, counseling and coaching....i have a horrible experience with my daughter- unless you want youir kid tobe as rude as donal trump, this is not your school Close Quote

Cape Fear Academy has so much to offer. Academics, drama, sports, clubs, student government, class trips, technology, after school enrichment activities...there is truly something for everyone. My child has gained such self confidence since she's been at CFA. The teachers and staff are fantastic and truly care for these kids. The campus is spacious and pretty and the classrooms are large and conducive for learning. I'd highly recommend CFA! Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
