Teachers are very willing to work 1-on-1 with the students to make sure they have all resources available, while teaching students important life lessons, such as accountability and responsibility. The principal is phenomenal! He makes sure each student is doing well and succeeding to the best of their abilities, and wants to see the entire school body graduate, and succeed in the future.The student environment is a huge family! The school is so diverse it is easy to make great, lasting friendships with people of various ethnicity. The athletics department is full of opportunity for all children, with very successful and prestigious football and cross country programs. There are so many academic and interests clubs that make extracurricular activities easy and accessible for all.

This school has offered a greater variety of classes over the years and now has more classes in the technology areas. It has problems, but all schools do. They have a great athletics department (volleyball, golf,track, football, soccer, tennis and I'm sure I'm forgetting something.) as well as a good music department (marching, concert, winter percussion, color guard, winter guard). There are many after school clubs. (Too many to list) It is a good mid-sized school in Lincolnton. I enjoy my time there...and it takes a lot in a school to do that. ;)

Well, I found out that instead of giving the children options, in the eighth grade, then when the time comes and they cant receive the courses they chosen, thats not fair. Especially, the children that need the course for their future, it just isnt right, that other children get the courses, that they arent even interested in, just because the course is easier.In the meantime the other children are suffering, because it was their dream.... Sorry, not satisfied with some of the staff.........

This is a great place for your children to go to if they like a nice southern hospitality atmosphere. However, over the past years, the attitude students have toward their teachers are worsening. More students are disrespecting and losing interest in learning. Each succeeding year, there are less hardworkers and more fooling around. The school isn't big, but its not that small. The cirrculum offered through the school is pretty good considering it's size, but it's not up there with other top schools in offering classes of computer science.

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.
