The principal, faculty & staff are wonderful at Rosewood Middle School. It is a safe environment, academics are top priority! As the parent of an autistic child it has been a blessed experince to deal with people who WANT the same educational goals met as we the parents - goals are set & met! Highly recommend Rosewood Middle & Elementary schools. Outstanding school, school spirit, teachers, academics, non-academic activities & positively safe and friendly environment! Mary Donahue

The teachers at this school help each child with their specific needs. Rosewood is gang free and one of the safest schools.

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.
