I feel that Plymouth HIgh School is a great place of learning and preparing yourself for the future. I am a current sophmore and I believe that attending Plymouth High School will help me achieve my goals in the future. The teachers are wonderful, the school environment is positive, and the ever growing standards put Plymouth High in very high rankings. Plymouth High is a great place to be a student!

I feel that Plymouth High School is a great school, especially for it to be in a small area with limited resources and limited finances. For a matter of fact, Plymouth High School's football team won the state 1A championship this year. There has been much reform taking place at this school and in the district.

I am very proud of our school. My son is a senior and I feel the school has tried to equip him for the future.

Plymouth High School is a pretty good school. I do believe that there could be more training for some of the teachers. There also needs to be more activities for the students but all in all it is pretty good.

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.
