Mountain Park School is by far the best school my son Skye has attended. There are quality teachers who relly care about students. The quality of teaching is also wonderful. I was really impressed with my son's academic growth in Mrs. Potts and Mrs. Myers Pre-kindergarten class. They helped Skye reach his potential. I know any parent can feel assured with their child at Mtn Park. Sincerely, Summer Amos

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.
