This school has really gone down hill with it's current administration. To keep face and in the good graces of the county administration, they will not address the behavior of even the worst of repeating offenders. Teachers that have been there for years are unhappy and I have been to by a few of them that they are retiring early or leaving.

Safe environment, supportive administration and staff, and overal good students. Of course you have some students that try to cause problems but issues are dealt with as soon as possible.

As a seventh grade student at A.G. Coa Middle School I have to say it nis a great school. Of course it has a few problems, but what school doesn't. A.G. Cox could have better food in the cafeteria and maybe more time in camp classes but that's ok because every other school in pitt county has the same food that we do and the same amount of time in camp classes. The overall picture is that A.G. Cox Middle School is a great school with great teachers. I love A.G. Cox Jessy Pinner

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.
