Our goal when sending our son across town to Mineral Springs was to get him to just enjoy learning again. Third through 5th grade was a nightmare for us all. Our goal has been exceeded. The staff is wonderful. The teaching style encourages kids to be, accept and appreciate themselves and others. Our son has blossomed at Mineral Springs. Academically, it's not as strong as some of the other schools, but that was something we were willing to overlook for the other opportunities offered. Our son is one of a handful of Caucasian students in his grade level. This has been a non-issue. No problems racially. The kids are taught to accept each other as they are. The theater program is excellent! Did I mention the teachers? Love every one we've come in contact with. :) Principals? Excellent. From where we stand, our child can't be in a better place. :)

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.
