Great teachers, principal and staff. Thanks to teachers' encouragement and support, my daughter, Ayesha was able to write and get her book on school bullying, Buddy Bully published when she was 10-year-old.

I was terrified when I moved to North Carolina because I had the wrong impression of the school system. My child started out at North and he loves it there. Every teacher he has had has not only had years of experience but the structure he has obtained has been unbelievable. I love the principal and the leadership skills she shows and the teachers are all top notch. My bad impression of the school system was totally off and I'm glad everyone at North proved me wrong. I'm proud to be a Panda Parent!

Overall good school for academic programs although the counties accelerated learning program could use some work. Extracurricular activities have been made available through S.O.S. and the before and after school programs which are greatly needed in this county. The parents as well as the grandparents are thoroughly involved in school activities. We are proud of our son's accomplishments while at North Elementary and will ensure that the high academic standards continue through our involvement.

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.
