I go to this school and i love it! The teachers are really nice an if something or someone is bothering you. You can tell the principle and she will handle it or a administrative! I love CLMS!

This school, along with all other public schools, are failing our kids. When I was in middle/high school (late 70's), ALL of my teachers had MBAs in education. Now we have teachers that (if lucky) have BAs in forestry, psychology, etc. There are assistants that have no college education and have no education in what they are assisting with (reading, math, etc). The government continues to pull funding from education - pitiful situation. I am pulling my daughter out and she will be going to private school.....

Had two children go through this school and I'm very impressed with what they do with the resources available. Good principal and teachers. My kids have enjoyed the CLMS experience.

I am a student at Corriher-Lipe Middle School and I think it is a great place to learn because the teachers are always ready to teach and the students are always ready to learn.

corriher lipe is a great school, it has great academics and decent sports programs, i went to C.L.M.S. for two years and i wish i could be going there for my 8th grade year as well, when you walk into the school you can just feel the hospitality and friendly warmth, i advice parents to send their kids to C.L.M.S.

This School is by far the best. The teacher are great. The staff as a whole really care.

My daughter is having problems with her school work and I had a meeting with her teachers. All of them were very helpful and concerned about her. They were very helpful giving suggestions and helping me to feel better about my childs future. I've read several bad reviews on here and all I'm saying is that my experience with these particular teachers proved to me that they are kind and caring. This is my third child going through CLMS and I've not had very many problems there at all and when I did, the staff were quick to handle them.

I was a student at CL for 3 years. This is a great school. It has a loving caring principal and great teachers. I would know because I attended that school all 3 of my middle school years.

This school is failing our children The statistics show that this school has failed to teach our children basic reading writing and math every year the the average number of children that meet goals set by the state drops. The push to 'raise money' increases and the PTA seems to dictate school activites.

I feel like the principal cares about the childrens education. But the athletic department is totally about favoritism. Your child can be at every practice giving 100% and they are still only going to let their 'picks' play at gametime that don't bother showing up at practice. This school does'nt teach teamwork, they teach it's all in who you are and who you know.

This school has the worst communication between school officials and parents. I have had 1 child attend there and i have 2 other children that i will no way send there. This school will give you a good lesson on the phrase (according to who you know). They are very inconsistence on their practices. Teachers are also signing pep plans saying they are going to do certain things to help your child and just flat out don't do what they say they are going to do. There is no sense of love and care for seeing children succeed in this cruel world. My child was where he needed to be going to middle school but when he was took out of this school he was way behind. Don't move to this district if you don't have to and this school district will make you understand why homeschooling is becoming so popular.

Our school really works together as a team and not as an indviual. But our school is not so great at sports but is good when it comes to academics.

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.
