Summary

The Hawbridge School is a public charter school located in Saxapahaw, North Carolina, serving grades K-12 with a total enrollment of 601 students. As an alternative school, it offers a unique educational approach compared to traditional public schools in the area.

The Hawbridge School stands out as a high-performing institution, with consistently strong graduation rates ranging from 85.1% to 94.8% over the past few years, outperforming the state average. The school's academic achievement is also noteworthy, with proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science that are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, as well as on end-of-course exams. Compared to nearby Clover Garden, Chatham Charter, and Eno River Academy, the Hawbridge School's test scores are consistently stronger, especially in mathematics and science.
