A few people I know have pulled their children out of Jessie Mae in the past year and they have been very happy with their choices. If you cannot afford private school, there is another alternative. Waccamaw elementary and Supply are very good schools. Keeping in mind that Brunswick County Schools are not good in a whole, Waccamaw and Supply are two of the best in my opinion. I have had alot of experiences with both these schools and currently have children in Waccamaw and they are thriving. I think if they would just get rid of Katie McGee who is absolutely worthless, and Ray Gilbert who is a criminal, and get some people on that board that are not just up there for their own personal gain, we might have a better chance for our children.
