I love Middlefork Elementary school because the staff treats you like family. They have great programs for children with learning disabilities. There you will find a clean, warm, learning environment. Middlefork makes learning fun for the children. I would recomend this school to anyone.

Middle Fork Elementary is a great school to attend; my children are in a safe and caring environment; the teachers are very knowledgeable and Mr. Hampton is doing a terrific job managing the school day to day operation. Children will be children and I hope the teachers will continue to take authority in the classroom with patient and love for our children.....

This school is filled with disruption, behavior problems, and children who have not been taught respect. The students do not respect the teachers, no matter how hard, or talented the teachers are. If this does not change then they will continue to receive a 1 rating. Many of the teachers at this school are brillian! they work very hard and push their students for success, but unfortunately the home environments of a lot of the kids is miserable. They do not know how to show resepect and are filled with excuses for why they constantly get in trouble. God Bless This School and the Students Who Work There! If things do not change neither will their test scores, the high turn over rate of teachers, and the attitudes of the children that attend there.

My daughter started kindergarden this year and let me tell you... it was the hardest thing as a parent that I have ever had to do. Her teacher put my worries with ease and when I go to the school, everyone is always so frindely and very profesional! I love the discipline that they have as it is not just for one student, it is for the whole school. I love her school and I wish she could stay there all of the years upcoming in her life!

I was not pleased with Middlefork Elementary School. The school is new as are alot of the teachers. Hopefully as the years go by the school will improve but I regret sending my child there. It is unorganized and academically lacking. I would recommend exploring other options before enrolling at Middlefork.

Mr Hampton and the whole school is really great parents are always welcome at any time and not made to feel they are not wanted unless the school wants to talk to them. Great job staff keep it up.

I have been pleased with my child's experience at Middle Fork for the 1 1/2 years she's attended. It is a fairly new school, therefore, I cannot rate the overall quality of academic programs other than by stating that I have seen my child grow academically and socially! Music,gym,and science classes are incorporated into the curriculum and they offer an array of extracurricular activities including girls and boys only clubs and a jump rope exhibition team! My daughter has participated in drama club,chess club,and Discovery Club for science. They even have a nature trail and a magnificent playground! The level of parental involvement is high; from assisting children into the building in the mornings to helping out in the classroom. I am always made to feel welcomed by the entire office staff and her teacher whenever I visit. Middle Fork Elementary School was an excellent choice for my daughter!

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.
