Summary

Stewart Creek High in Charlotte, NC, is a small high school serving 342 students in grades 9 through 12, and its most recent state ranking of 645th out of 662 North Carolina high schools puts it in the bottom 3% statewide. The school's challenges appear across core measures: a 23.8% graduation rate versus 88.8% statewide; chronic absenteeism affecting 88.0% of students, more than 3.5 times the state's 24.2%; and proficiency of just 10.8% in Biology and 21.4% in English II, against state averages of 58.5% and 64.6%.

These numbers look even starker next to the high schools of nearby Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Although Stewart Creek High runs as its own district, the Stewart Creek High School district, the campus sits only 0.36 miles from Phillip O Berry Academy of Technology and less than one mile from Harding University High, and both are far stronger performers. Harding University High graduates 81.2% of students and reaches 38.7% English II proficiency, nearly double Stewart Creek's rate; West Charlotte High graduates 78.7%; and Phillip O Berry Academy of Technology hits 74.3% English II proficiency, 55.7% Biology proficiency, and just 20.7% chronic absenteeism. Even Military and Global Leadership, the weakest-attendance school in the group, reports 61.9% chronic absenteeism against Stewart Creek's 88.0%. The student-teacher ratio at Stewart Creek, 29.6-to-1, also far exceeds ratios of 17.8-to-1 at Phillip O Berry Academy of Technology and 16.9-to-1 at Harding University High, making intensive support harder to deliver.

The clearest positive development is the graduation rate, which has grown from 6.3% in 2021-2022 to 23.8% in 2025-2026. That progress has not been matched on other measures: chronic absenteeism stayed above 83% in every reported year, and English II proficiency fell from 28.2% to 21.4%. With only 342 students, small cohorts can make year-to-year percentages swing, so the rising graduation rate is best viewed as movement off a very low base rather than evidence of a completed turnaround. Taken together, Stewart Creek High needs comprehensive intervention in attendance, engagement, staffing, and academics before meaningful, sustained gains are possible.
