Summary:
Research Triangle Charter is the only elementary school located within the Research Triangle Charter District in North Carolina. The school serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade and has consistently ranked in the bottom 15% of elementary schools statewide over the past three school years.
Research Triangle Charter has faced significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates on standardized tests, such as the End-of-Grade (EOG) exams, consistently falling well below the state average, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 5th-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 26.8%, compared to the state average of 59.3%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 77.44% of its students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite these challenges, the data suggests that Research Triangle Charter has an opportunity to improve its performance and provide a higher-quality education to its students. Addressing the school's academic gaps, particularly in core subject areas, and implementing strategies to support its economically disadvantaged population should be a priority. With a focus on improving student learning and academic achievement, Research Triangle Charter can work towards becoming a more successful and impactful elementary school within the district.
