Awesome! The teachers go out of their way to assist the students. I have a 1st & 3rd grader and they are loved and have been since they started there. They are corrected and graded, but they never doubt that the teacher is doing what's best for them. Mrs. Sellers is an outgoing interested administrator who loves and knows each student by name. - How often do you have that in any school? I went there years ago, and it was just as homey then and I learned eagerly, too.

My children used to attend WES, and now attend a school in Ohio. We truly miss the wonderful teachers and staff at WES. They are exceptional people. My children still ask if we can move back to NC so that they can attend WES. They are espically fond of Mrs. Joyce Miller and Mrs. Liz Parker. These ladies make learning a joyful experience. Thank you WES, Sincerely, Sherrie Howell-Lunsford

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.
