The faculty and staff at Beaufort Elementary are constantly trying to meet the very diverse needs of all of their students. Everyone always has a smile on their face and arms outstreched for a hug. A top-notch school.

I have really enjoyed having my boys at Beaufort Elementary. The test scores do not properly reflect the hard work and dedication of the staff.

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.
