Both of my children have attended Boonville Elementary School. They both enjoyed their time there, made plenty of friends and loved their teachers. I thank staff for the way they welcomed my children when they were the 'new' kids in the school. They have both moved on to the new Starmount Middle School this year, but both children will always have fond memories of BES.

I am a parent who started to homeschool because of this school and yadkin county practices. The principle is way to 'stuffy' to be over an elementary school. He does not talk to parents as he passes them in the hall or outside. I liked the former principle that he replaced. The teachers are selective about the students they like/help. Some send notes home all the time, and for stupid stuff. I do not like this school.

I am a parent of a 3rd grader, I don't have a child who gets into trouble so I don't have to deal with the principal much but my daughter loves the school, the staff & cheer leading for BES. I love the school & staff..I am so blessed that we moved into Boonville.

The principal is uncommunicative at best, the school waits until the last minute to send out any important information - class assignment, supply lists, trip information. If a child gets in trouble most of the time parent's are not informed.

I am the parent of a seventh grader at Boonville. I also have a 16-year-old who attended Boonville. I have been very impressed with the high expectations placed on my children, and they both have had successful school careers so far. The staff is friendly, and there is an evident focus on achievement and progress at this school. It is a very inviting place to be.

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.
