End of Grade Testing in Grades 3-5 Starts May 8!
End of Grade Testing Location and Time
As you are aware, North Carolina Cyber Academy will be administering End-of-Grade (EOG) assessments and End-of Course assessments in ELA/Reading, Math, and Science (Grades 5 and 8) the week of May 8-12 and May 15-19.
The NCCA Data & Accountability Team has made every effort to have testing in a location that will minimize travel distances. They have added seven locations across the state compared to last spring.
Guardians and Students should have received an email from Dr. Ashley Cooper on Thursday April 6, with their assigned End of Grade Testing Location and time. Please read this carefully and make sure the dates and locations are on your calendar. End of Grade testing is required in Grades 3, 4, and 5. If you did not receive an email from Dr. Cooper, please check your spam folder.
Dr. Cooper's office sent out final notifications on Monday, May, 1 and Thursday, May, 4, with site-specific information for each EOG testing site.
Students have answered over 1.2 million questions and mastered over 22,000 skills this year in IXL!

Proposed Revised Elementary Engagement Tiers
For the 2023-2024 school year, live learning will be scheduled Monday through Thursday, with Friday as a scheduled day for projects, enrichment, and asynchronous learning activities. The student schedule at NCCA is built around a six-hour instructional day. The exact schedules of live learning will be specific for each child and similar to the schedules this year. In general, families should expect around two and a half hours of live instruction each day.
NC Digital Learning & Media Inventory (NC DLMI)
The NC Digital Learning & Media Inventory (NC DLMI) collects data for state and national reporting, informs state and local budgets, and assists in planning state and local digital learning efforts. Data from the DLMI is used in:
- School Report Cards (annually)
- Civil Rights Data Reporting (normally biannually, but will be reported again in 2023)
- Digital Learning Dashboards required by Senate Bill 105 (annually beginning in 2023).
Please assist us by completing an optional parent survey. Directions for how to complete the survey can be found here: Digital Learning and Media Inventory Parent Survey Directions.
