Posted January 25, 2011

My grandson attends Latham, and I find it to be an excellent school. He has had some wonderful teachers that really take the time with their students. If there is a problem the school and teacher contact tthe parent to make certain the child and parent understand the rules of the school and they work together to help the child do better.

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.
