Posted August 22, 2005

I am truly proud to be a part of Success Institute School as a parent and as an employee. My daughter have attended the school since kindergarden and now in the 5th grade. The time, effort, energy and discipline that is sown into our childrens' lives are so necessary in this generation. Even thouth we are not perfect, we do strive for perfection. I would truly advise any parent to enroll their child into SIS as well as to become a volunteer. We have a great staff ( myself, I do applaud the teachers & staff for such a great job)with one common goal and that is to see our children succeed in life. As a parent I am willing to work along with the team to benefit our children in their academic, and social growth. What I would like to see for SI is more space,playground, and envolved parents.Thank you.

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.
