I went there as a little girl and the teacher's and staff were fantastic. Now all four if my kids go there. Nice school.

North Graham is a great school. It was awarded as a School of Distinction in '07-'08. The teachers are some of the best I have ever experienced. The staff is dedicated and trustworthy. I would not send my children anywhere else.

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.
