I LOVE this school !!! We moved into this distrct a year and 1/2 ago from another school in the county. I have 2 children with disabilities and was concerned that the same issues would follow us to this school. the staff at KCS are open minded and highly qualifyed; they not only embrassed my children but encouraged them. I have seen a dramatic change in my children in the lastyear and 1/2; they went from begging me not to make them go to school to begging me to let them go to school during summer break. I wish that there was a way to get every school in my county to follow the example set by KCS when it comes to working with families of special needs children!

KCAS is the number one school in my book. I have 3 children at this school and I would not have them anywhere else. The first thing you see when you drive up to the school, is Mr. Bradley, Principal of the school, greeting each student along with their parents, rain or shine. Mr. Bradley must be the only man alive that never has a bad day, because he is always smiling. We had a medical incident in our family and Mr. Bradley payed special attention to my children and when surgery was complete, he took my children in the office and told them that the surgery was ok. I do not know of any other principal that would go this far out of the way to see that the children are taken care of emotional, academically and any other way that he can help.

Stony Point is a great school. The teachers and staff at Stony Point do their best to make sure the children learn all they can.

About the tests

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.
