The school is great. Mrs. Conway and Mrs. Catolano do a great job with students, teachers and parents. They do great!

Not so great. I'm sure it's perfect if you have a perfectly healthy child. However, if you have children with special needs, at least emotional needs, look else where. My son has mental health issues. I have no option at this time to remove him from school and home school him. Which is a bad and good at the same time. It's sad giving up on the public school system.... however, it's good that I've finally put his education first.... which is almost always better from home.

This is the best school ever. I went there as a kid and although at the time I never thought that I would be interning there in high school. I get to see first hand how things work there and i think that it is wonderful and inspirational how they take care of situations. I truly feel that they are doing a good job there.

I graduated from this school in June 2006 from fifth grade. This is the best elementary school I have seen. The teachers are qualified with their teaching materials. There are many programs like art, music and p.e. As parent involvement it is a great advantage of helping students have fun and learn. The discipline is very stressful on students but is very well done.As to help prepare students for the E.O.G.shows of this school's high scores. As their safety on the school's campus it is a safe learning environment.

We have 2 daughters attending NES right now and our 5y.o. son will start kind. in the fall. We have had a very positive experience at their school. Our girls are in 1st and 2nd grade. They have had many opportunities to do hands-on assignments with everything from reporting in front of parent audience in Mrs. Deans' 1st grade class, while pretending to be certain animal or insect, to weaving and making apple pies in Mrs. Day's 2nd grade class. These teachers and many others I've had the chance to speak with at their school seem to have the best interest of their students at heart, and truly want to make learning fun. Our girls are always coming home and telling us something new or exciting they've done in their classes. The teaching assistants also seem to be helpful and excited to see the kids after a break.

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.
