Summary:
Research Triangle Charter is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Research Triangle Charter District in Durham, North Carolina. With a total enrollment of 727 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of North Carolina elementary schools over the past three years, performing significantly below the state average on standardized tests across multiple grade levels and subject areas.
According to the data, Research Triangle Charter's statewide ranking has been 1314 out of 1490 schools in 2024-2025, 1199 out of 1505 schools in 2023-2024, and 1201 out of 1502 schools in 2022-2023. The school's performance on End-of-Grade (EOG) exams is particularly concerning, with proficiency rates ranging from 26.8% to 43.8% in Mathematics and 28% to 52.7% in Reading, compared to state averages of 59.3% to 64.1% and 46.7% to 58.1%, respectively. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 77.44% of its population eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, and a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.9 to 1.
The data suggests that Research Triangle Charter is a low-performing school that is struggling to provide a high-quality education for its students. Further investigation into the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and support for economically disadvantaged students may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and develop strategies to help the school better serve its community.
