I have lived in Greenville, NC for that last 9 years. My children have been in the Pitt County School District since that time. One of my children is Autistic, and has been in Special Ed/Title 504 for his entire educational career.
The PCSD, like any school district, has "good" schools and "bad" schools. In my experience, the "Chicod" area has the best teachers (not necessarily best school...it's run down and old).
Chicod Middle feeds into DH Conley High school, from which I got a sense of quiet "taking care of business". It services a much more rural student population than say, JH Rose does. It has a sort of laid back vibe to it. The teachers are friendly.
This as opposed to JH Rose High school, which feels very different. The environment feels like an urban school (crowded, boisterous, obnoxious) and the teachers come off as overworked and barely hanging on to their sanity. My son attended all four years there as part of a pilot program for High Functioning Autistic children.
My daughter now attends South Central High school, the newest high school in the district. The school is clean, large, and the students seem to take pride in it. The teachers are communicative, helpful, and outgoing. They seem to care about the students more than at Rose. After school tutoring from the teachers is a regular occurrence here.
