Our curriculum is based on the North Carolina Standard Course of Study. This curriculum reflects the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to function effectively in an industrial age. Opportunities are provided for students to think, reason, explore and experience success in math, reading, and writing across the disciplines. Higher-level questions are used in all areas to help give our students what they need to perform on tests and future careers. Our students are assessed formally and informally. K-2 students are assessed using portfolios. Students in 3rd grade are administered math and reading pretests within the first three weeks of school. These scores provide a base line for growth analysis. The end-of-grade test (3rd-5th) measures achievement of curricula objectives described in the N.C. Standard Course of Study. Also, students in fourth grade have a writing assessment to measure written expression.
