We are from Craven county and I am very sad about the Libray and reading program that this school has. My children have wonderful teachers that pick up the slack. Libray is not even on the dewey decimial system (not good for students that will need this in higher education).

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.
