Nice School. It has the reputation of the smart school but their scores are not that great and they are still working in a new principal. There are some great teachers. There are some not so great teachers. The students are well behaved but not especially challenged. Parent Involvement is terrible.

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.
