It has been my experience as a parent of a Winterfield student that the teachers are very attentive to the indivdual needs of their students. My son is going into his third year at this school, and all of his teachers have made it a point to encourage and facilitate his love for learning. The level of parental involvement at this school is incredible. All teachers, staff and administration are always readily available and are truly there for the children. My son will be in the third grade this year, and I plan on keeping him at this school until it is time for him to graduate from the fifth grade!

My daughter attends Winterfield, my son also attended school here, but he graduated last year. I find the teachers to be very caring and attentive to the needs of every students there. They are very informative and communicate frequently with the parents, whether it's with the monthly newsletter, parent-teachers conferences, or PTA meetings. Free tutoring was offered to students that needed it on Tuesdays and Thursdays afterschool, which I believe was a big part of my child being so successful on her EOG's. They also offer small group settings to assist students that need that extra push. Winterfield is a great school with great leadership and teachers! They are a School of Excellence in my book!

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.
