This is the first year my daughter attended this school. They have a high turnover in teachers. However, they provide tutoring for students with school work. The school has no control over racism and would be very uncomfortable for any minority.

My son has been struggling with grades. He also was disrespectful to teachers. I can understand if they want to kick him out if he gets a third offense, which he has not, but to have the principle tell us my son should drop out and get his GED is so wrong. What kind of educational professional would ever say that to a student or a parent of a student. I understand that this is a charter school and they may not have the funds to handle problem children. But this school is really going down hill. It used to be about smaller class size but now that enrollment has increased it has become just like a public school. Except at this school it seems like most of the kids are from well off families and lower income kids get teased constantly.

The full-year course schedule allows students to truly master the material. This is a true 'community' school.

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.
