Claremont is a great school with well educated and caring teachers and a great support staff. They are dedicated to ensuring each child has a great education and all their needs are met.

Posted September 16, 2009

My son has a myriad of special needs and we feel so fortunate to be allowed to send my child to Claremont (on the other end of the county from where we live). The teachers, principal, support personal, cafeteria and even the janitors go out of their way to make my son's school experience and his education awesome. We feel like he is in the best school possible for him. Claremont is wonderful!

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.
