I think Kenansville elementary is a great school. The principle keeps parents updated on what is going on at the school. AG is an excellent source of learning. academic sucess of each student is the goal of the principle and the teacher.

Kenansville PTO is a very active organization. Volunteers help out with everyday and extracurricular events on a frequent basis. Teachers are excellent and supportive and seem to really tray to assist students. It's amazing how so many teachers and the principal seem to know so many of the students by name. This means a lot to the kid & parents.

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.
