Moving to a new home can be a hectic time especially when children are involved. Finding the right neighborhood with the perfect school is a necessity but sometimes time and stress of finding the perfect home interferes with such necessities. If you’re moving to the Mooresville, North Carolina area there is an ample amount of schools to choice from each providing their own unique qualities.
There are 35 schools, ranging from elementary to high school, and public to private, within the Iredell - Statesville district. The Point Lake and Golf Club, which I moved to four years ago with my family, has seven schools within close proximity. Four are elementary schools: Woodland Heights Elementary School, Mooresville Christian Academy, Lakeshore Elementary School, and Lake Norman Elementary. Three of the four are public schools. Each have relatively the same number of students, but differ in their student to teacher ratio. A plus for parents wanting more one-on-one time for their child in school. For instance, Lakeshore Elementary School has 707 students attending with 21 teachers, making the student teacher ratio of 31 to 1. While Lake Norman Elementary has 593 students attending with 37 teachers, making the student teacher ratio 19 to 1. Both school, however, received four out of five stars on the Market Insider website, meaning both area a great choice!
If you have children in grades sixth through eighth there are two middle schools of choice. Both received excellent ratings but differ slightly in the amount of students attending. Lakeshore Middle School, a public school, has around 593 students. Brawley Middle School, also a public school, has an estimated 734 students.
As for high schools, Lake Norman High School is the closest in proximity. With an estimated 1946 students and 65 teachers for ninth through twelfth grade, there is a 27 to 1 student teacher ratio.
Some other interesting facts that future homebuyers in the Mooresville area may be interested in is the learning procedures. The district is considered to have a medium to high technology index, meaning there is increased awareness in a student’s use of computers, which is proven to be a necessity in the 21st century.
With an estimated 22,000 students in the 35 schools located in the Iredell – Statesville district it’s important to find the school that meets your child’s needs the best. Many future homebuyers forget that choosing a home involves more than finding a place with a big enough pool for entertaining or a garage big enough for three vehicles. When children are involved in a big step such as choosing a new home it’s important to think of factors such as school size, how many teachers there are, and the student teacher ratio to ensure your child receives the best education.
