Two of my daughters have attended Cameron Elementary one graduated two years ago and now my youngest daughter will be leaving this year. This saddens me greatly as I will miss this school as much as my daughters. The principal, the teachers, and the rest of the school staff are a great group of individuals. Cameron Elementary is a little country school with a big heart.

Cameron Elementary is great all around. The teachers and other staff members sincerely care for our children and want to see them succeed as much as we, the parents, do. They have instilled in the students a love for learning and a willingness to reach for the stars. Students at Cameron Elementary are given the tools needed to be the best they can be, not only in school but in life as well. Our school understands that teamwork is essential for students to excel. Students, teachers, and parents are all on the same page as we work hand in hand while we strive for the absolute best for our kids. When a student hits a snag, we all work together to help him or her get back on the right track. Each student at Cameron is expected to always try their very best and to bring a positive attitude with them into the classroom each and every day. Self esteem flows through Cameron's hallways, encouragement is found around every corner. Cameron Elementary is hands down the best school there is!

Cameron Elementary is a small town school with a lot of heart. In a country where everything is given conveyor belt treatment Cameron is still a school full of real people with real values. From the principal to the PTA the school is full of smiles and positive attitudes. Even in an economic environment of budget cuts and hard decisions they are focused on, not maintaining, but improving the educational experience of their students. So I think they deserve a reward that will help them reach their goals!

Cameron Elementary has one of the best atmospheres in our county's schools. The staff makes th school feel like one big family, and they are truly lucky to have Priscilla Riley as the principal. She knows all students by name and what mood they are in as soon as she sees their face. Grace will be in the fourth grade, but Beth went to new century this year. She cried because she had to leave the staff and leader of Cameron School.

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.
