Summary

Langtree Charter Academy is a K-12 public charter school in Mooresville, NC, serving 1,376 students in the Charlotte region. It reports a graduation rate of 87.2%, close to the state's 88.8%, and a chronic absenteeism rate of 17.4% that is well below North Carolina's 24.2% average. About 31% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, placing it in the middle range among nearby charter schools.

The school's greatest academic strength is literacy. Reading proficiency across grades 3-8 averaged roughly 63.6%, comfortably above the state's 56.0%, with a standout 7th grade result of 76.3% versus 56.3% statewide. English II performance is also strong at 80.0% compared with the state's 64.6%, and science proficiency exceeds state averages in both 5th and 8th grades. Still, Langtree sits amid some of the Charlotte region's most accomplished charter schools: Community School of Davidson and Pine Lake Preparatory are just a few miles away and outpace Langtree in nearly every subject, while Lake Norman Charter is another highly regarded neighbor.

Math results are more uneven. Fourth-grade math proficiency was 45.0%, well below the state's 61.4%, and Math I EOC proficiency plummeted from 67.6% to 37.5% in a single year—a swing families should probe by asking about cohort sizes and course placement. The reported student-to-teacher ratio of 31.4 is also an outlier, far above the 16-19 range typical of nearby charters, so it is worth asking how class sizes actually feel in practice. Given Langtree's consistently strong reading outcomes, its slightly below-average graduation rate is a puzzle worth investigating, particularly whether math struggles are slowing students' path to graduation.

Open Quote This is our first year at LCA Lower (3rd snd 5th grade) and it has been a great experience! My childrens’ teachers are wonderful, the staff is very friendly and responsive to any questions I may have and my children have excelled in the Cambridge program. The school is growing and improving more every year. Close Quote

Open Quote C School Under-performing school Poor test results. Teachers mark based on homework not testing. Kids never learn to write tests resulting in poor test scores. Students test at the beginning of the year and have the same results at the end of the year indicating poor teacher performance. Close Quote

Open Quote This is my 3rd year teaching, and I really am impressed with Langtree. What I appreciate most is the parents' and staff's willingness to supply teachers with all the help and resources they could possibly need. It's such a blessing to be able to teach with an abundance of resources - those that make learning fun for the kids! Close Quote

Open Quote Langtree is an amazing school where students and teachers work side by side to engage in learning and teaching. The school administration is caring and compassionate. They have a strong character education program. They are well known for working with students with learning differences. Both of my children love going to school here and the community and PTC are awesome! Close Quote

Open Quote Horrible upper school! Your child will not get what they need. On-going extremely poor communication. Eleventh graders were not told they would be taking the ACT. They informed parents by putting a one-liner in a newsletter. Close Quote
