Posted February 16, 2013

I graduated from Kinston Charter Academy last year. This is honestly the best school in the county unless you're able to send your child to Arendell Parrott Academy. But, honestly the best school.


Posted February 19, 2009

Kinston Charter Academy is one of the best schools in Lenoir County there are plenty of schools and I am currently a substitute teacher for the public school system and charter school system and I have been around to alot of schools to work but this school is different the classroom sizes are smaller allowing students to get additional help if needed, the teachers are excellent with teacher assistants to help as needed. Students learn in a structured environment.

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.
