The Bridges program was just what my autistic son needed to prepare for middle school. This seems to be where Wake County keeps a lot of its well-qualified special needs teachers.

The booster program is excellent. My son really enjoys the atmosphere and the teachers really care for the students

About the tests

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.
