I am a Student at Flat Rock Middle School. This school is not only about achieving Goals, but seeking to meet higher standards through your own motivation. I believe the education is great and teachers are caring enough and involved to work with us one-on-one. The sports teams have respectful team members and are great to work with. Good sportsmanship is seen school-wide and our school has many hard-working and caring students. Though there are some trouble makers in the school, they are always properly handled and seen discipline. Most people who transfer from other schools say Flat Rock is better. There is not nearly as much fighting in our environment. So anyone seeking to transfer to another school i would very much recommend Flat Rock.

This is not a very good school. There's a bunch of goons working there who don't know how to run a school. The environment is similar to a social network, with teachers and staff more interested in their social network than the kid's education. If your family is not part of their network (including the principal) then your child will receive an inferior education.

Both my son and daughter have done very well at Flat Rock. It is due to their hard work and the dedication of the principle and staff of Flat Rock.

This school academics are very good, I have noticed an increase in my daughters overall grades. As far as athletics, this is a different story. A lot of kids want to be on a winning team and this builds character and makes the kid want to come to school.

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.
