Posted August 25, 2005

This is my first year in this county. My son has done excellent at Highland Renaissance Academy. Mrs. Webber and Mrs. Price worked real hard and well with my son. I am so blessed to have had them for my son's beginning. Ms. Hayes, Ms. Lowe, and including the speech therapist. They have all helped me as a single parent. They are right where they are suppose to be. Keep up the good work!

I must say since my children starting attending Highland they have come up a long way. I have 2 children with learning disabilities and 1 with ADHD. Where I have been round and round with other schools they addressed the issues and found ways to offer services to help my children succeed. I would recommend that any parent struggling with learning concerns this is the school for you. Dr. Bovis and her staff have been a life saver to me and my family.

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.
