As a new family here at Midway I must say I do not agree with how the school cares about each child and that they are loved, maybe thier own kind but being not from around this area and having a child who needs extra attention due to a learning disability from a cancer treatment, they don't really want to extend thier care and concern to our kind. I was not impressed by the principle at all.

I think the new principal at Midway is outstanding! She is a great addition to an 'already excellent' school. I can honestly say that the teachers truly care about each and every child. You can feel the love and enthusiasm when you walk through the front door. I also feel like my child is safe and loved at Midway.

Being a military family, our children have attended many elementary schools. I have found that Midway Elementary is one of the best. The school spirit and principal involvement is unmatched; as is the parent involvement. The only thing I wish the school would develop more is their Academicaly Gifted (AG) program. My child is in it, but there is so much more she could be getting out of it. I would say too, that they need to add a couple 'advanced' classes as well. But - overall, I am more than happy to have had my kids attend Midway.

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.
