Summary

Chatham Charter is a public charter school located in Siler City, North Carolina, serving 583 students from kindergarten through 12th grade. This school stands out for its consistently high academic performance, outpacing the state's average in proficiency rates across various subjects and grade levels.

Chatham Charter's academic excellence is evident in its impressive proficiency rates. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's mathematics proficiency ranged from 66.7% to 93.8%, significantly higher than the state's average of 48.7% to 64.1%. Similarly, Chatham Charter's reading proficiency rates ranged from 67.4% to 85.4%, compared to the state's 46.7% to 58.1%. The school's performance in end-of-course exams, such as Biology, English II, Math I, and Math III, also exceeds the state's average by a considerable margin. Additionally, Chatham Charter has maintained a consistently high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 86.4% to 88.2% over the past five school years, outpacing the state's average.

Interestingly, when compared to another nearby public charter school, The Hawbridge School, Chatham Charter outperforms in most academic areas, including mathematics, reading, science, and end-of-course exams. This suggests that Chatham Charter may be providing a more comprehensive and effective educational experience for its students. The school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.3 to 14.2 over the past three school years, and its relatively low percentage of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch, ranging from 22.3% to 28.47% over the same period, may be contributing factors to its academic success.
