Posted January 3, 2011

Where do I begin?! I currently have a daughter who goes here, and she hates it. The bullying is\was out of control such as girls writing very innapropriate things on bathroom stalls, and fighting. The lessons they teach in class are things she was learning in elementary school. The school doesn't have any idea how to raise money for the school but for parents to send in money, they don't have dances or anything that makes the students help their school. The school is also a little unfair with the dresscode. they tape holes in jeans, even if its not exposing exssesive amounts of skin, and during the hot months of school they ONLY go after the girls wearing short shorts if their parents are not known in Maiden. Also my daughter complained of "religious" things around christmas which she got changed so people wouldn't get offended. Overall I'm not satisfied with this school. Moving schools before the end of the year.

The staff is very, well...bad. The teachers are way too childish. The principal is a good one, but she can't make the school good without a good staff behind her and thats what hurts the school the most.

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.
