I have been pleased with this school. The current principal is very good. If the parent takes an active role to know what their child is dealing with, and if issues are brought to the staff's attention, things get resolved efficiently. Mainstreamed EC students could be better attended to, but this school is nothing to be afraid of.

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.
