Posted January 17, 2007

Our family moved to North Carolina in June 2006. I have 2 boys, 9 yrs and 7 yrs. It was a big change for them to start at a new school and make new friends. Guideway has been a blessing. The teachers, staff and everyone there made us feel welcome. They take special care of all the students. The music program was wonderful. So far this year has been good.

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.
