Summary:
Metrolina Regional Scholars Academy is the sole school in this one-school data set, serving grades K–8 in the Charlotte, NC, area while operating as its own district. The school enrolls 396 students and maintains a 14.4 student-teacher ratio. Even with only one campus to review, the data points are remarkable: the Metrolina Regional Scholars Academy district ranks #1 out of 246 in North Carolina, and the Metrolina Regional Scholars Academy school has earned 5 stars and a 100th percentile rating for three straight years.
Academically, the school is elite. It has ranked #1 in North Carolina for two consecutive years (2024–2025 and 2025–2026) after ranking #2 the year before. On 2025–2026 EOG tests, proficiency rates range from 97.7% to 100% in third through eighth grade reading, fourth and eighth grade math, and fifth and eighth grade science. Statewide averages for those same exams sit between 53% and 69%, so the school’s advantage is roughly 31 to 45 percentage points per subject. Notably, several tested areas, including fourth and eighth grade reading and both science exams, recorded perfect 100% proficiency.
A key supporting factor is attendance: the school’s chronic absenteeism rate was only 10.6% in 2022–2023, far below the state’s 24.2% rate in 2024–2025. While free/reduced lunch data is not reported, and no growth or teacher-quality measures are available, the consistency of near-perfect scores across math, reading, and science suggests an exceptionally effective academic environment for K–8 students. For parents, the takeaway is straightforward: Metrolina Regional Scholars Academy stands out as one of North Carolina’s very best schools, with results that set a high bar for student achievement.
