This school is a great school. My son is in the 3rd grade Autism class. He has been going to this school since kindergarten and I like this little school. This year it was kind of bumpy for him and his behavior, but the staff helped a lot getting him to control this. He did a wonderful job, he has been on the honor roll all year. Also, communication with the staff is amazing. They keep us informed. I had experiences at other schools with my other children, where the principal would not contact us after leaving messages, but the principal at this school picked up the phone when I called to speak with her. The teachers and staff really care for these kids and I applaud them for this and the many things they do for the kids.

Love this school! My son went to pre-k and then was held back and did pre-k again in another state. We finally got him into kindergarten here at college lakes and he has just blossomed! His teacher is a wonderful woman, shes funny and artsy and he loves going to school now.

Our children have attended this school for a couple of years and for the most part I have been pleased. There has been a change in principals this past year but overall I think the transition is going well. I believe that most staff and teachers there are interested in the children excelling and I like that they have functions for the kids.

The staff has been very helpful in getting us settled. In a military town like Fayetteville you have a lot of families come and go. My child is in a self-contained classroom because of autism and has blossomed over the time he's spent there academically and emotionally.

I went to CLES the past 3 years and really enjoyed it.I think Mr.Harvey is a great guy and Mrs.Olden and Mrs.Long were the most caring people you could meet.Mrs. Olden was teacher of the year for I don't know how long.They have great school programs and a great faculty.If you have trouble finding the right school,that trouble ends here.

I have a son who attended College Lakes for 4th and 5th grades and a daughter that is currently in 1st Grade. Since we are a military family this was my sons 5th elementary school in 4 years and I can honeslty say that it is the best school he ever attended in his elementary years. The staff,including everyone from the janitors to the principal are extremely friendly and geniunely caring and concerned about all the children attending the school. They have a great 'gifted' program and focus much of their engergies into teaching values like respect, honor and responsibility to all the children. The children are learning in a fun, caring, nurturing and safe environment.

My son ,who is now in second grade, reflects the demeanor of this excellent learning establishment. Every year I am proud to see Hunters' interest in learning grow. His teachers and even other students instill such good values in my son. This school year (2005-2006)we have a new Principal who is very dedicated in teaching our children and he takes the time needed to work with staff, students and parents. The quality of the academic programs excels above many and the children enjoy other classes tremendously such as music, art and their outdoor activities. David A. Tinnemeyer

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.
