SAEGS IS the best school at East Wake. The teachers are awesome && they care about the students more than any other school. They want to see you succeed. Although few teachers are there just for a pay check. Teachers will stay afterschool until at least 5:00 to make sure that you understand the lesson that they taught that day. So to sum it up. Send your kid to this school!!

This was the first year of the East Wake High being divided into 4 separate small schools. The school of Art, Education & Global Studies has a great principal and guidance counselors. The principal is wonderful you can always call or email her for assistance and if she can t help she will find someone to help. The guidance counselors are always there to answer any questions about your son/daughter future. If they don t have a class that your student wants they will find away to get them in one. The downside is the long lunch line in the cafeteria. The teachers are like all schools you have some teachers who really care about the students and there are the ones who are just there for the paycheck. Like any high school they do have occasional fights and disruptive students. The principal is great and deals with the situations in a timely

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.
