This has been our first year at Clemmons Middle School, and it has been nothing less than impressive. It is a peaceful school with responsive and involved administrators, excellent 6th grade and specials teachers (band, P.E., science, etc.), and wonderful extra-curricular activities. Very good communication, excellent location in one of the most desirable, safe areas of Forsyth County, and the school itself is like new; very clean, open, uncluttered, and welcoming.

I am an 8th grade graduate sitting here in Norco High School in California right now taking advanced classes. This school does offer quite a lot, but it won't beat a high school at all. Personally 8th grade is the best year for any student or parent who reads this. Overall the school is OK no tagging really, teachers are strict in the hallways so just be prepared to face a SGT if you step out of line (My SGT yells about the same level), no major fights. This school hoists many memories to me. Mrs Patterson and Mrs Khanna are the best of the 8th grade teachers!

Wonderful school that will sure to be on Forsyth County's up and coming radar. Improving every year. Soon to be THE BEST! Fights? What fights? Teachers are strict, but loving and fun. No garbage at this school. They won't put up with it. Happy children. Safe school.

I have thoroughly been satisfied with Clemmons Middle School. The chorus and band programs are great. Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Emma Smith are just a few of the great teachers. We look forward to the 7th grade year at Clemmons. Go Cardinals!!

School has major issues with fighting and harassment that need more leadership and actual enforcement of district policy.

I say this school is alright. I moved over the summer, so I'm one of the new kids in school, and in 8th grade, but the students here aren't as cliquey as my school back in Greensboro. The guidance counselors are nice, and so are the teachers. However, a few teachers get aggravated easily or don't help out.

I am very displeased with this school. The teachers show very little interest in actually helping the students, it is over crowded, the guidance counslers are rude, there are students fighting all the time. I am seriously considering removing my son from this school. Example: My son was absent one day due to allergies. I called at 10am to ask for his schoolwork. I was told that 24 hours notice has to be given to collect schoolwork missed by your child. We are overcrowed and the teachers don't have time to get your son's schoolwork together.' What???

This school is awesome. I am about to gradutate here and I'm dreading it. I love it here because the teachers are awesome and it's always exciting. You don't have to worry about bullies because the teachers will be all over them. 'GO CLEMMONS!'

I am a parent of 2 children at this school and I am not impressed at all. The teachers have not been helpful and my kids constantly complain they are always 'yelling' at the kids. My own personal dealings with several of the teachers have been frustrating at best. We will not continue at this school next year.

I have a child who attends here and has had some problems with students as well as teachers. I would highly praise the way Sheriff Underwood and the counselers have handeled the situations. They are very caring about the students and give alot of positive reienforcement. They try very hard to get you thr resorces needed to handle problems that may arise. Thank you!

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.
