Posted July 10, 2006

Having taught here for 2 years back at the turn of the century, I found the small size made it easy to really get to know the students one on one, as well as their parents--great support for faculty, superb librarians, great computer accessibility for students, ROTC program is superb as is the music department. Internet instruction in varied courses leads to many courses regular large schools don't even think of offering, like marine biology. From the cleaning staff to the office staff, everyone works for helping get students to their goals. This school, though small, is a great place to have your children learn, especially when compared to other schools I have worked im.

Everyone says that the school is so bad but the school is little so the kids get a lot more feed back from the teachers. I just moved from there to very large school so I know that the school is a pretty good school. Mixed population but it works!

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.
