Credit by Demonstrated Mastery currently accepting applications for fall testing, including World Language placement testing. Testing will begin after Labor Day.
Governor's School, NCSSM, and Summer Ventures are advanced learning opportunities for 10-11th graders with fall information meetings and application deadlines. I'll use PreACT, ACT, and EOG/EOC scores to find potential, but you may reach out to me based on interest alone!
By law, middle and high schools must place students who scored Level 5 on their Math EOG/EOC in advanced/honors math the following year. Particularly for students who completed NC Math 3, there are many options available!
