I think this is the best school in gaston county. The principal and assistant principal are wonderful. They have the best teachers and staff. You feel like you are at home and not a number like at the larger schools. Peggy Banner-Hoyle

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.
