Summary:
Stewart Creek High School is the only school in this data set, serving 342 students in grades 9–12 in Charlotte, NC, and functioning as its own single-school district listed as Stewart Creek High School. Because there are no other local schools for comparison, the most useful way to understand this school is against statewide averages, and the picture that emerges is one of urgent, interrelated challenges.
Stewart Creek High currently holds a 0-star rating and ranks 645th out of 662 North Carolina high schools for 2025–2026, placing it near the bottom of the state. The district itself ranks 244th out of 246 districts. The graduation rate is just 23.8% versus 88.8% statewide, and chronic absenteeism is a severe 88.0% compared to 24.2% across North Carolina. Academic proficiency on End-of-Course exams is also far below state levels: Biology proficiency is 10.8% versus 58.5% statewide, and English II proficiency is 21.4% versus 64.6% in the most recent year. The student–teacher ratio of 29.6 to 1 suggests large class sizes, compounding these difficulties.
There are a few notable patterns and one genuine bright spot. The school’s Math I EOC proficiency in 2024–2025 was 33.3%, almost exactly matching the state rate of 34.4% — a stark contrast to its performance in other subjects. The school also earned a 1-star rating in 2024–2025 after improving to the 12th percentile, but that progress was not sustained, as it fell back to the 3rd percentile in the latest rankings. English II proficiency dropped from 28.2% to 21.4% between the two most recent school years, while the state improved from 59.6% to 64.6%, widening the achievement gap. With roughly 301 of 342 students chronically absent, it is no surprise that graduation and test scores lag so far behind; improving attendance appears to be the most critical lever for any future turnaround.
