My child goes to Old Dock and it is a wonderful school. The teachers do a wonderful job at educating each and every child. The entire staff cares about the children first! The principal is also excellent. The school has met progress and growth goals for the past 5 years, I know. It is simply a wonderful school with a family-like atmosphere.

This school is where I went to when I was a child, and now my children are coming here and it is wonderful. The faculty is very responsive and they really do care about the well-being of these students. And they encourage each and every one of them, when it comes to education and safety. I respect all the faculty at Old Dock School and I look foward to my son attending in the upcoming years.

Old Dock is the school I have sent all of my children to and my oldest one is an honor college graduate. He started at this school and went all 9 years there. Old Dock is a wonderful school and i would not send any of my children to any other school and think they would get any better education.

This school is great when it comes to playing at p.e time but they have like no extracurricular activities. But it is a good school with a good, NEW principal.

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.
