Ithink hillcrest school is a great school. The teacher are very concern when a child is getting behind in there work.The children learn so much moer than people think. So children get upset a test time or stressed out at the end of the year testing that when they set donw to do it they go blank. I know i was like that at test time.The teacher's have a heart to teach the children.No matter what they help the children. They spend alot of thier own money on things to help the children. They give thier all. Can't say there any better school in morganton

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.
