The school is a good school but my kid and other students need a principal that is present at least some of the time. The assistant principal has had to listen to my problems but can't truly 'do' anything without the principals ok and of course she is NEVER there to finalize any suggestions the assistant principal comes up with. I'm pulling my child out next year!

The Faculty at the school is good and understanding. I would have to say thought the princpal is not. There seems to be a sense of nepotism at the school in some of the hiring practices. I would not purposely send my child there. The school needs better leadership that actually promotes teaching the basics as opposed to worrying about extra programs that do not work.

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.
