W T Brown is a great school! My sons attend classes there through the school of choice program. The parent who commented about the yearbook is mistaken. Yearbooks were distributed; I was looking at my copy this past weekend. The PTA did have a change of officers but only for a short time and it is back up and running. The fee per family is $5, not $15. These fees are not mandated by the schools so they can't set their own fees. In the two years that my boys have been attending the school I have not had any issues with money. I get what I pay for. I suggest you contact the principal about the yearbook issue. Again, this is a great school! They have a great academic program.

My experience with this school did not meet expectations. The disorganization and lack of communication was less than desirable. The PTA disbanded in which Parents who joined (paid the $15 fee) were not notified, nor was their money refunded. Secondly, for those of us who purchased Yearbooks (and paid $20 cash...that is all the school accepts -- without receipts provided to the Parents), those were not distributed at the end of the year (June 2006). Still to this day, no one can explain the Yearbook situation, nor have we received the Yearbook. Complete and utter confusion!! My concern is the leadership qualified to manage the staff? I would not recommend this school. In my personal opinion, it should not be a 'Choice School.'

Both my children attend/ed W.T.Brown and they loved it there. Great staff, challenging studies, safe envirnoment, quality lunches and over all a great place to attend school. I am very please with this school and will continue sending my son there these next 2 yrs. Thank you W.T. Brown for making education a good experience for my children. - Mary Giselbach

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.
