my daughter is Bipolar and was in kindergarden and in Ms.Heath's class and did very well.she was on the Honor Roll all of the school year. it is hard for my daughter to fit in.but they made her feel very safe and wanted. i thank them very much.

Posted November 5, 2006

Although this school is well known for its low test scores,its teachers are genuinely concerned about the welfare of their students. I found that the level of parental involvement was the saddest I've ever seen in a school. The attitude and behavior of its students and parents was the reason for its problems. I know this from first hand experience. This was the reason I found I could not work there any longer.

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.
