I think Union Middle School is a great school. I love to go to school everyday and see the smiles on the students and staff's faces. We have excellent education programs and after school tutoring. I enjoy all of our field trips and other school activities. Union Middle School encourages children to be all they can be!

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.
