Kris: I wish I had something good to say about this school. But after 2 quarters we have had nothing but problems. Rules aren't applied equally to everyone. Excuses are made for things not being done. Teachers are less than willing to help and or follow through with what is discussed during parent/teacher conferences. Overall, I wouldn't recomment Onslow County Schools to anyone.
