With first hand experience as a parent of 1 NCSSM graduate and one currently attending in his junior year. I can tell you it's worth the hype. I'm not saying they'll get into a better school, which they will. I am saying they will be a more rounded student, be afforded endless educational opportunities, live in a more diverse environment, live with students that have the same drive as themselves, make lifelong friends, be ready for college on day one. My daughter a freshman in college has seen her friends multiple times since graduation, even with them being scattered across the country. It's a bond that will last a lifetime. For the parents that are considering allowing your children to apply and attend if accepted, don't fear they'll be extremely safe at Smath. Number one school in NC NEED I SAY MORE
