Great schools.org gives the Brunswick County schools a 5 out of 10 overall rating based on school test results. The highest schools were the Brunswick County early College high school receiving a 9 out of 10 and the Union Elementary receiving a 8 out of 10. The Bolivia and Shallotte middle school received a 7 and the Southport, Waccamaw, West Brunswick and South Brunswick all received a 6. The majority of schools received either a 4 or 5. 

Surprisingly Supply elementary got one of the lowest reviews ever at 3 however, according to great schools.org, has some pretty positive reviews. Many people feel that the entire staff make it obvious the children are the first priority. Other people feel that the “principal and staff care greatly for the students in the education that they receive.” “I think that this is the best school that my son could be a. He loves going to Supply.”

It really comes down to the teacher and the investment that the staff and faculty are willing to put into each student. The very best school could have a terrible teacher and the very lowest ranking school could have an excellent teacher. However, many people choose homes throughout Brunswick County based on the schools and the reviews. The majority of schools are nestled along Highway 17 from calabash North to Wilmington. There are several down by Southport along Highway 87 as well.

Brunswick County SchoolsThe Brunswick County school District has numerous divisions including finance and business, English as a second language, migrant services, technology services, media and instructional services, school counseling and testing and assessment. Their emphasis is on child nutrition, academic excellence and establishing great partnership with parents and teachers alike.

Need a more active way to relax? There is plenty of space to play a game of catch, football,or Frisbee under the shade of the preserved original tall oaks.

There are two loop walking tracks that wind through this beautiful stretch of land for park goers to enjoy a stroll through the trees and along the waterfront. 4 loops around the short loop make a mile and 3.5 around the long loop make a mile.

One of the most popular features of the new park is the public boat ramp and fishing pier. Fishing boats, kayakers, canoes, anglers and people just strolling the pier are a frequent sight here. The park is still in development and will be adding more pier fishing spots and overlooks to give more access to the waterway.
