West Yadkin shows a lot of favoritism in students. It really doesn't matter how hard a student tries or wants to learn, they are either in or out. This is a 'good ol boys' school at best. If you are friends with any of the staff or related you can get by with most anything, but for those who are not, every move that is made is watched. There are a lot of teachers there that are too job secure and are just plain mean and grumpy, they just need to go ahead and retire because they really don't want to be there anyway. But, on a positive note, there are some younger teachers now that seem very nice and have a lot more patience than others.

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.
