I love the school it is great and my daughter has learned alot while being at the school. She is in the first grade and is reading on a second grade level. Which I think is a blessing. I thank her teachers for doing a great job and just being there for her. If I every have to call to the school to inform her of something they are always quick to inform her or the teacher. Great school all the way around. Great job!!!!

Overall this is a good school. The new principal does not respond quickly to parent concerns, and some of the classes are overcrowded. My child loves going to school there and I am satisfied with the academic progress my child has made thus far this school year.

Pembroke elementary offers a lot of programs to students in our area. Classrooms are well organized. Principal and teachers try to get to know each and every child no matter who's class the child is in. There should be workshops available to parents on how to help kids with homework and how to prepare them for college waiting for middle school is too late.

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.
