As a parent of a child at Fall Creek, I think they have one of the best staffs around. The teachers work well together and seem to enjoy the time they have with the children. I feel very blessed that my child is at this school.

Fall Creek, is a great school, the staff loves polite children. In Boonville everyone knows you by your first name and the teachers are alright. This school is out in the back woods and it has lots of character. Pictures every where, the school is new, just rebuilt its a nice place. I attended there.

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.
