I am so very proud of the acheivments of this school, the staff, the students, the parents, and the principal! This school is an awesome place for students to learn and grow! They specialize in learning who your child is and meeting their individual needs. The Principal is a hands on principal who truly cares about children. Ms. Sharon Jacobs is dedicated, hard working and caring. She cares about her staff and the parents just like she does the children. Many many hours go into doing the behind the scenes work that she does. Ms. Jacobs has been the principal since the school became a Montessori School. The students acheivements and the school accolades continue to increase each year. Keep up the good work Ms. Jacobs!! Keep going and growing Washington Montessori School!!!!

What I love about this school is the caring teachers and their love for all the children individually. I can toot my horn a little bit because I am the mother of one of its teachers Mrs. Shanee Martin. Shanee takes the concerns of her cildren home with her well into the night hours and even on her off days. The childrens organic process of progressively growing into their own awareness of their inner nobility is a top priority.Her Montessori teaching style is something that I love to go into the classroom to observe. She encourages every child to stretch through her own beliefs that anything is achieveable if you dream and believe in yourself. Giving the children the tools they need to achieve their dreams is of the utmost importance to her. Shanee is willing to share her tried and tested lesson plans with other teachers.

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.
