My grandson is excelling with Mrs. Dove in 1st grade. I give them a 10. Great job!

I am very surprised at what my daughter has learned already in this school. Their advanced reading classes are hands down the best I've seen! My daughter is excelling academically in all areas because she is being taught at her own level instead of as a group as a whole. I can't begin to express how important that is! Yes other schools in the area may be having Fall Festivals but they don't compare academically to this school!

My son is finishing his first year at A.T. Allen and I am more than impressed. I have worked in a museum and have witnessed everything from home-schooling, private schooling, public schooling and montessori and A.T. Allen has certainly proved that public schools can be a breath of fresh air. Our children should have every opportunity to see society in it's different shades and cultures, A.T. Allen supports and encourages our differences and celebrates our similiarities. My son has had a wonderful experience and we look forward to many wonderful years at A.T. Allen. I feel he will continue to gain knowledge that will take him far.

Academic programs excell above what my kids received at a Christian school. It challenges their thought process and does not rely upon memorization. The extra classes (as I call them) like music; art and such could be strengthened yet this would then lead to a 'take away' from the core curriculum. I say stay focused and those extra pursuits can be handled by the families. Parental involvement is great (as I can attest to my wife's constant involvement). The only area I see difficulty in is the bus drivers themselves. I would like to see more consistency and less jumping to conclusions and suspending kids from the bus. The real goal is to get them to school; not suspend them the possible only avenue to get there.

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.
