I cannot say enough wonderful things about Cameron Park Elementary. I have a 4th grader, a 2nd grader, and a 1st grader. We have been a part of the Cameron Park family for 3 years. The administration is loving and caring. They truly want the best for the students. The teachers are knowledgable, welcoming, and truly love what they do. The specials teachers (art, music, PE, technology) are fantastic. What a great community, family-oriented school.

Our son is not in the 2nd Grade at Cameron Park. It is his 3rd year and what a wonderful experience it has been. All of his teachers have put forth continuous efforts to help him grow. The attention to detail and the caring nature of the teachers are incredible. The teachers as well as the staff are outstanding. We are so happy we chose Cameron Park over a private school. We look forward to the years ahead.

This is what a public school should be! Caring, involved, innovative teachers, a supportive and knowledgeable administration, and loads of parent involvement. I recently pulled my child out of a local private school knowing she would be better served by Cameron Park. A truly special place.

I have a child in first grade and a child in 5th grade, my 5th grader had many problems when he started kindergarden with his speech and writing. The teachers and the principle went beyond their call of duty to help him overcome his problems. I have had alot of support at Cameron Park. We found out when he was in 4th grade that he is ADD and without their help and encouragement he would not have made AB honor roll the last semester of 4th grade! My 1st grader loves school-she also has ADD and the teachers are already helping her adapt to it not use it as an excuse. When it comes to having someone else in charge of your children from the principle to the custodian I would not trust another school. Cameron Park loves their children, you see it everyday, and most important of all they show it to the children and make school life as lovable as home life. Bless the people of Cameron Park they leave a lasting memory in their children!

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.
