Posted April 24, 2013

Chatham Middle is a very diverse school that stresses positive interaction and collaboration with others. The teachers are highly equipped to meet individual student needs and are differentiating in their classrooms to meet all levels of learners. The administration encourages staff and students to take risks and think "out-of-the-box" about teaching and learning. This fosters an open-mindedness and makes CMS a learning environment for all.

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.
