This is our first year at Carter Community School. I have children in the 4th and 6th grade. We simply love this school, the teacher/principal involvement is phenomenal. When participating in one of the school functions I truly had a sense that the teachers really cared for their students.

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.
