I love this school my kids first year was last year. My 8 and 10 year old love this school. The teachers are dedicated and helpful. My 8 year old made more progress in one year than he ever had. They have academic programs that motivate. If your child need extra help it is readily available. The principal is awesome she is firm if she tell you her or her school can get something done you can take it to the bank she delivers. As far as parent involvement I can only speak for me and my husband and we are involved.

My famiy and I moved to Charlotte, NC from up north and we are very happy with this school. Our now 10 yr old absolutely loves her school. I have to say, based on what I see the kids here are so much more well behaved and have really good manners. We love it here! Our daughter only missed the snow and some of her friends but she has adjusted very well. I just wish the school went up to 8th grade so we would not have to change schools when our daughter goes to the 6th grade. I just hope to have the same good report when she goes to middle school. ~A happy parent~

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.
