Glenn Marlow is an excellent school and we've been very pleased with our daughter's experience here. The staff is extremely friendly and caring. This school seems to have the balance right, between great academics and a nurturing atmosphere. We only wish that Art and Music instruction were both year round.

We moved into the Glenn C. Marlow area so our daughter could attend this outstanding school and it was the best thing we have done for her educational experience so far. Her teachers have been outstanding and quick to come up with solutions when she has struggled. Parent involvement is welcome and there are many opportunities for parents to be involved at school and with PTO activities. Parents are always welcome. The staff all genuinely like each other and the overall feeling is one of acceptance and devotion to learning. Every child should have an chance to grow at Marlow.

My daughter is in kindergarden at Marlow, and she couldn't be happier! Her teacher is fantastic, and she has my daugher reading and excited about learning. I love all the special things the school does, and I love atmosphere of the school. I could go on and on!

My children are so happy at Marlow. They are both receiving individualized work that is designed to challenge them at their level (which is above grade level). It seems as if the entire staff knows them and cares about them personally.

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.
