I love this school because it is a community school. The staff really loves our children and constantly are seeking other ways to provide the best education for them. I hope my child goes to all of the MP Schools through High School.

mt pleasant has surpassed our expectations. Principal Cochran is an upbeat positive person who is looking towards the future. He is creating a learning environment that is technologically advanced, and yet still providing the basic hands on skills that all young children need.

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.
