My children have been at Irving Park Elementary School for 8 years. i could not have picked a better place for their education. I have two boys and a girl so i think i have a pretty good perspective from many angles. The teachers are amazing. They take the time to really teach our children and it shows. My oldest child went onto the feeder middle school and I was encouraged even more when I saw how ready he was for middle school. He was ready academically, emotionally and socially. What more can you ask from a school. My other two children are flourishing at Irving Park as well. They love going to school each day and have made many friends from our neighborhood as well as from all over the world. The diverse population bring such richness to our student body and our teachers. They strive to do their best and I contribute much of that to the atmosphere and teaching directed by our administration which is carried out by the teachers and staff. What a gem Irving Park Elementary School is!!!

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.
