Great school, I have graduated from there but the friends that I have made there still say that it's a great school. Fighting and bullying levels are slim to none and test scores and grades are pretty good. The teachers are very helpful and easy to trust.

High Point Central Academy is an outstanding school with very caring teachers and a great principle whose #1 concern is the children they are there to help guide on their pathway to the future. I have never been more impressed by the dedication of a teaching staff as I have been here. My son has become a changed student since starting at the Academy!

School started a few years ago, and a bit rocky. Since then everything has really turned around. Small class sizes and individual attention have helped. These teachers really know what they're doing.

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.
