Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools


Summary:

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district encompasses 180 schools, including 115 elementary schools, 29 middle schools, 32 high schools, and 4 alternative schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is ranked 129th out of 243 districts in North Carolina and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several standout schools in the district include Community House Middle, ranked 36th out of 784 North Carolina middle schools with exceptional performance in 6th grade math and reading, and Rea Farms STEAM Academy, ranked 16th out of 1,502 North Carolina elementary schools with outstanding results across all grade levels.

However, the district also faces challenges, with significant racial disparities and a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Schools with higher free and reduced lunch rates, such as Garinger High School and West Charlotte High School, tend to have lower rankings and test scores compared to their more affluent counterparts. The district's average student-teacher ratio of 21.8 also varies widely, with some high-performing schools like Harding University High School having significantly lower ratios.
