Teachers are average; there have not been any that have been impressive. Principal is an example of young leadership with the potential for growth over time,but currently exhibits some deficiencies in leadership and judgement and has not reached a point where he understands the need to fulfill a role to parents and staff equitably.

This school is AwESOmE, the teachers are awesome espesically in math. I am currently a six grader going to 7th grade this year nd i have made a HUGE academic improvement and social improvement in my cores.I am making grades in math that i would never thought i could make and i actually understood the material that the teacher taught us. We had competitions like Pie Day to see who can remember the most digits of pie and later on we all got tto eat some other days in social studies we had Anicent Greek Olympics: SPARTA V.S. ATHENS it was amazing. If your a parent of an future 6th grader start looking into ROGERS-HERR because you wont be dissapointed. We might not be as artistic as DSA but academically we there. Last but not least there is no BULLYING of any kind.

I love the school and the staff. My son completed 6th and 7th grade and is currently an 8th grader and he loves this school. He has participated in Band, Football Team, Basketball Team and Track Team as well as being an active member of the National Junior Honor Society. I highly recommend this school to parents eligible to attend this school (which is Lottery Based selections).

This is my son's first year attending, so far i have enjoyed every minute of it, this is a great school, i love the way they have awards day for the students, just one slight problem...I don't think any kids should be left out, the teachers can find some type of award to give to every kid, even if its just a student that is willing to go out their way to help, It was just unfair for some kids not to be able to walk up on stage and get something, this brings down their self esteem, especially when they are trying very hard in school.

My daughter has been at Rogers-Herr for two years and we love this school! The teachers are wonderful, and lots of fun, the principal and assistants and other staff members are great! The band program is AWESOME! The school is being rennovated and will soon have a state-of-the-art look to enhance the excellent educational program! And we LOVE the year round schedule!

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.
