The school is not meeting the needs of the students, but there are many staff people who do care. I feel sorry for them because the principal,Ms. Battle has really ruined the school. My oldest child had some great teachers'; Mrs Rouse, Mrs Edgecomb, Mrs.Willis,then Mrs. Hopes, but after the changes last year I am moving my older child, and my youngest who would be in Kindergarten.This principal talks out of her both sides of her face.... she is always yelling at her kids and her staff.Lots of teachers have left the school and my child hates it now.I am sorry, but as a parent I feel this school has become a trainwreck. I called county office before Christmas and it got worse. Wake up Wayne County!!!!

There are to many relatives there. The staff tends to be more concern with each others family problems rather than planning teaching lessons for the children. Ms.Hope is an excellant teacher. The staff cares more of what a child wears to school rather than what is being taught.

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.
