It is the school that my 2 children attended and now my 3 grandchildren are attending. It is small and the students are well known by the teachers, assistants, cafateria workers, janitors, and bus drivers if they ride. They feel very safe and nurtured at this school.

Copeland Elementary School was a great place for my children to begin their education. They both received the attention they needed in the classroom and the extra-curricular activities needed to make them well-rounded individuals. They had each decided upon careers by the time they entered high school, because of the opportunities they had at Copeland.

I feel that both my children have been extremely fortunate to attend Copeland Elementary School. They have been challenged by their teachers to be their personal best. The school is warm and inviting to parents and encourages us to be a part and offers quarterly activities at the school to give tips on ways we can make a difference at home. I have only good things to say about this school

My daughter has been at this school since kindergarten except 6 months when we moved. It has been wonderful for her and us, as parents. The teachers are great and work well with parents. Everyone in the school is wonderful and willing to work with my child and listen to us or answer questions we have. I wouldn't want my daughter anywhere else!

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.
