I love Hunter Elementary School because they have wonderful caring teachers and staff who go the extra mile for their students
—Submitted by a parent


Posted October 4, 2009

The Staff provides such a safe and nurturing environment that many of the children do not look forward to summer vacation.

The racial and ethnic diversity of this mostly working class school is challenging. For all of this, Hunter is one of the happiest, best-run elementary schools I've known. -With lots of community volunteers to help an inventive, dedicated faculty and staff. I am a former teacher and school administrator.

What a wonderful place for my kids to go to elementary school. My son has high functioning autism and my daughter has ADHD, both have had their needs met beyond my expectations. As a parent, I sometimes feel I want to do more, but the staff and teachers have everything covered, so I'm rarely asked or taken up on my offers. But the teachers are excellent, the staff does go the extra mile. There is huge community involvement...the term 'it takes a village' rings so true at Hunter. We love Hunter and am proud to have our kids there!

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.
