A model school, very much improved! The school has improved its test scores and made AYP for the first time 2010-2011.


Posted October 19, 2011

The school has improved a lot with new leadership. The teachers work hard to ensure high learning for all. The kids were way successful last year and scored 29 out of 29 goals or 100% and met AYP for the first time in 9 years! Way to go on the right track!

Posted February 4, 2010

this school is not very organized. they're constantly changing things with out giving parents any warning. Sometimes they cancel things at the last minute. sometimes I get a letter from them about a last minute change the night before it happens.sometimes my child will tell me they announced something about the next day as the kids are leaving out to the buses. some of the teachers there do seem to care about the kids though.

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.
