The students at Park Road are exposed to opportunities that other children in traditional public schools are not able to experience. Being a Montessori school, combined with our wonderful and dedicated teachers, the children naturally excel as they are taught in a manner that is motivating and captivating. Everyday, the students learn respect for diversity and our Earth.

I love the Park Road community! Everyone treats my child like their own.

Park Road Montessori has given my son an excitement about learning. As a second grader he is learning things that I did not learn until a much later age. The school is very diversified and reflects our society. The teachers really care about each student. The administration strives to do what is best for the students and the faculty. If it were a private school people would pay top dollar to have their children attend. I highly recommend Park Road Montessori to any parent that has a young child ready to enter 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.
