My children are in the 7th and 8th grades. This is a GREAT school. Far better than others in the county.

I am glad my son is taking the Advanced PE class. The teacher has motivated him and his friends to exercise, move about, and take pride in themselves. At first I thought he was kidding when he said he had homework in PE. He really did. Now we exercise together as a family. It's great!

Yippee!!!! Waynesville is a great school and they added Air Conditioning for the new school year. My son loves it there. Teachers and principal are always available for meetings, )even if you pop in unannounced)

The teachers really do care! The way the Teams are setup seem to work well. Every interest a child or teen has is offered either in school as extracurricular activities. Classes are well organized and rounded. My child learns so much, and is getting prepared well for high school and just life in general.

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.
