Chronic absenteeism is exceptionally low at 6.7%, compared to the state’s 24.2%, indicating strong engagement and consistent attendance. While reading is the relative “soft spot” compared to math and science, it remains far above state averages in every grade.

In short, Endeavor Charter School is an academically elite K-8 school that is improving faster than the rest of North Carolina, with no meaningful weak areas relative to state norms.
