Carnage Middle School is a phenomenal school for any middle schooler to attend. I am an 8th grader there myself and have been attending the school for the full 3 years. The first thing I hear when I walk in the door is, 'Good morning!', 'how are you today?' It is too nice and the teachers are too helpful. Carnage supplies students with their regular 4 core classes, electives such as Computers and Art classes, extra-curricular activities such as Spanish club and Drama club, and sports teams as well. Teachers won't stop teaching material until students know it like they know the alphabet. If any parent is thinking about sending their child to Carnage Middle, think yes, yes, yes. Your child will get more benefits than any other school. In the end, if I could, I'd rate Carnage Middle School 1,000,000,000,000 stars!

Carnage is an ah-mazing school. I go there myself and I am in 8th grade. Everyone is so nice and we have the best time. The teachers are good also and they help us have academic excellence. We have lots of extracurriculars and we have lots of fun school wide activities. Carnage loves its 8th graders and they help make the 8th grade year the most sucessful year ever while we have tons of fun. There are soo many activities just for 8th graders to do and there are lots of activities during school for us. It gives the younger people something to look forward to when they reach our level. We have yearbook signing where we get yearbooks earlier for 8th graders and we go outside for this in the afternoon. We have field day, graduation, formal, and many other fun things. Carnage is the best school in Raleigh! ~successfulstudent

Fred J. Carnage Middle school is a phenomonal example of academic excellence. I was in the academically gifted program and the teachers and assignments are not just informative but also challenging. The teachers encourage their students to think critically and carefully about the topics assigned, and even about topics that may not be assigned. Parental involment is fantastic. There are a number of after school activities that span a wide variety of interests. Fred. J Carnage gave me an excellent stepping stone for high school. I am currently a successful student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Anyone considering Carnage should definitely continue to look into this exceptional school.

My son is now in his third year at Carnage Middle School. He is on the AG team and is having a great experience. I am very choosey about his education as well as the schools social environment, both have exceeded my expectations. He is thriving academically and spiritually. After an awful elementary experience, Carnage Middle is just what my child needed. Thank you Carnage! Although Carnage is a for Math and Science Magnet School, it is very strong in the arts. Great theater and music program.

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.
