I have the most respect for all employees at PCHS.They have been most helpful with my grandson ,he is hearing impaired, had other minor health problems which everyone was very concerned with. .They kept me informed by phone or mail about what was going on with him.The school nurse called his doctor to better understand his medical problem. The bus driver, cafateria staff all worked with him.All his teachers were wonderful people.They have some wonderful academic programs.

About the tests

In 2011-2012 North Carolina used End-of-Grade (EOG) tests to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8, and 10 in science. The EOG is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of North Carolina. Students must pass the grade 8 EOG test in order to graduate from high school. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the tests.
