I have two children attending BC Elem. They have a new principal this year and she is very rude. The school does not seem to encourage student individuality and if a parent questions what the school says you will be told you are wrong!

We have found Buies Creek Elementary to be a well balanced, focused environment with a lot of parent/administration involvement. Being on Campbell University campus has many advantages. Field trips within walking distance, etc. Great School, we feel very fortunate!

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.
