Rosewood elementary school is a wonderful school that promotes learning, creativity, sports and is all about helping the students.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted June 16, 2008

We moved to this area just so our daughter could go to this school. What a great experience it was. All of the staff- secretaries- principal and her teachers she had thru the last two years were so fabulous. You could be as involved as you wanted, and you never felt like you were out of place or in the way. Rosewood is extraordinary place to be if your lucky enough to experience it. We loved Rosewood Elementary and we will dearly miss it- The Long Family

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.
