This is the worse school my child has eer had to go to. Getting her the help she needs was impossible and ignored. The teachers are inappropriate, yelling and embarassing students is not ok. Maybe at this ghetto school it is, but where I am from this is not acceptable.

With new principal leadership this year, this school can go no where but up. The teachers do run off campus immediately behind the students. The teachers also should learn about bullies. The assist. principal is horible. He is leaving the school, and this is a good thing. He will not believe their are two sides to a story and the first (usually the bully is always right and a straight A, never gets into trouble child is always wrong. This man is messed up!

My son is attending this school this year, and so far so good !!! The teachers sound great and informed, about whats going on.. I just wish they would send more progress reports home and send information home early enough for us to know about it in time.. On more than one occassion, we got information the day it was happening, and didnt konw the full story.. Also, I think that the teachers should stay atleast an hour after school everyday, in case there are issues from us parents and we need to call them .. I have needed to call a teacher on more than one occasion, and they leave when the students do !!! Also, I think they need to watch the children on the buses better, and discipline those who get into trouble, not just blow them off and let them keep doing it!!

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.
