To say North Cove is a GREAT School is a understatement. Both of my children have recieved a wonderful start to a future of learning and both have went on to excel. But even though education is important the reason the I love the fact that my children have gone to North Cove and my grandchildren now go to North Cove is the love that the teachers have for children. In a small community like North Cove everyone knows you and your family and look out for the needs of the children. My grandchildren are looked after, nuetured if needed, huged if they are having a sad day and made to feel special and they are NEVER made to feel like they can't do something or 'dumb'(sorry I used that word but thats how children hear it even if now said). North Cove will be a top school in North Carolina

I have two students at this school a son and daughter both in first grade and both in the same class. They spent their entire first year being corporally punished by their religiously zealous teacher. This year has shown some improvement though they were put into the same teachers classroom and continue to be made to pray and reprimanded for assaults against the teachers religion ( such as saying 'oh my god!' ) Great school for Christians who cannot afford parochial school, bad school for parents who believe religion should be taught at home and not at school.

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.
