My daughter goes to second grade and loves school, loves. cheerleading and playing basketball. She has learned so much in Kindergarten and First Grade. She is excited to begin another school year.

My daughter just completed Kindergarten and she loves the school. I am very pleased with the teachers, the administration, and the very involved PTO. However, 900+ students at a elementary school is absolutely ridiculous. Davidson County needs to do something about this situation.

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.
