The principal was indifferent to the needs of teachers and worked toward developing a mediocre school with no apparent care for upper level classes. He has moved on and I look forward to the new principal and the changes that may possible result.

This school has a lot going for it. The faculty teaches under tight control and need to. The students are a challenge. Without extreme discipline, the diversity of the school would fly apart. The prinicipal has just left so there is a real question if the new guy can hold things together. he will not get much help as there is no parent involvement, a problem at all 5 of these schools. So far the students and faculty have not been impressed with the new principal, but it is early though.

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.
