Summary:
The city of Huntersville, North Carolina is home to 15 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The schools in this area serve a diverse student population and exhibit a wide range of academic performance, with some standout institutions and others struggling to meet state and district averages.
Among the top-performing schools in Huntersville is Lake Norman Charter, a public charter school that significantly outperforms the state in math, reading, and science across all grade levels. The school has a diverse student population and a low free/reduced lunch rate, indicating a more affluent student body. Similarly, Huntersville Elementary and Grand Oak Elementary are traditional public elementary schools with outstanding academic results, exceeding state and district averages in most subjects. In contrast, schools like J.M. Alexander Middle and Long Creek Elementary have much lower proficiency rates, suggesting a need for improvement.
The data also reveals significant disparities in the racial and socioeconomic makeup of Huntersville's schools. While some institutions, like Lake Norman Charter and Trillium Springs Montessori, have a more balanced racial composition, others, such as North Mecklenburg High School and J.M. Alexander Middle, have a majority African American and Hispanic student population. These disparities are also reflected in the free/reduced lunch rates, with some schools serving a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students. Understanding and addressing these differences will be crucial in ensuring equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district.
