This is a great school with caring teachers and appropriate discipline. A real effort is made to ensure each child receives the help they need.

My Child has attended this scchool for 6 years. His grades are average to good. This school seems to have no parent involvement at all. The saftey of smaller children is also a concern with almost no sure safty procedures or security. They could learn a lesson from Elkin Elementary on drop off & pick up of the smaller children before and after school. In closing Math is not taught enuff one on one if a student needs help. I had to hire a private tutor to bring my child up where he needed to be, and he is a bright child just having a little trouble with Math but got behind because he did not receive the help he needed when they came to something he didn't fully understand.

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.
