East Lee is awesome, but what they teach us about standing for what we believe in is completely outrageous! Me and my friends try standing up to get remediation for the EOG. Teachers punish us for making petitions. Just because "it's state law" means we can't do anything about it? Why won't they be supportive and help our stand and enforce what they are trying to teach us? Can we stand or not?

This is a great school.The teachers are really involved and care about how we do in school.All of the classes are fun,and the school feels like a second family in a way.

East Lee used to be Yellow Jackets, now we are Rockets. I was a Yellow Jacket, my childs aunts & uncles were Yellow Jackets, why can't she be one? My child can not take home some school books without my asking the teachers yet there are spanish books for all classes. If there is enough money for extra books in a different language why can't my honor roll child bring her books home if she needs to? I like East and I think that the teachers are doing a good job but what in the heck are we coming to?

Just the best spot to work at being a teacher. Great support provided by administrators and looking forward to developing new strategies to reach students' interests successfully.

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.
