Last year my grandson started kindergarten at Grays Chapel. I was so pleased with the very caring teachers he had and very satisfied with the things he learned. He is very much looking forward to the first grade this year. I can't help but think his anticipation and his eagerness to learn new things began with those wonderful women he had last year and will continue this school season. Thank you so much, a caring grandmother.

We love Grays Chapel. My daughter will be entering the 5th grade next year and she has thrived. The teachers have been excellent, caring and have communicated very well. We will miss it.

Gray's Chapel was a good school, but in the past few years I have seen a considerable drop in the quality of education at the school. Some of the teachers are caring and competent, some aren't and the administration is severely inadequate. I fear this school will continue to go downhill if drastic changes aren't made to this school and very soon. It is a shame a school that was once so caring and respected has gotten to this condition.

My son started kindergarten this year at Grays Chapel. Before he began, my husband and I tried to get him into the Greensboro Magnet Program, worried that this school wasn't going to challenge him enough. Well, I was wrong. Grays Chapel has been wonderful. His kindergarten teachers are the best. They are warm, kind and encourage knowledge and independence. Mr. Farlow, the principle is so personable and caring. I honestly couln't ask for a better place than Grays Chapel.

At Grays Chapel School, the children are loved as well as taught. The entire staff are more like family instead of educators. They are compassionate about helping these children reach their greatest potential in all they do. I'm glad my two sons have been able to attend.

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.
