I think that people are unfair to the children at Chesterfield. They should have a better help system in place for the children of not so fortunate families.

I feel NC testing is extremely too low to prepare the children for college. We must force the state to raise this in order for there to be achievers in our future! Parents need to ready there children to learn rather than be disruptive! More dedicated teachers put in the system and raise there pay!

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.
