End of Grade Testing

As a free public school, Shining Rock is required to meet the same measures of student progress as traditional North Carolina public schools.  Shining Rock students participate in North Carolina End of Grade (EOG) Testing in grades 3-8 in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics.  Students in grades 5 and 8 also participate in End of Grade (EOG) Testing in Science.

Read To Achieve (RTA)

Shining Rock students in grades K-3 participate in MClass testing that measures the development of reading skills of all students through two main assessments: Dynamic Indicators of Basic Early Literacy Skills (DIBELS) and the Text Reading Comprehension (TRC) assessments.  Students in grade 3 participate in NC Read To Achieve (RTA).
