VERITAS Community School CFA

Public, Charter Grades
Summary

VERITAS Community School CFA is a public charter elementary school serving 169 students in grades K-8 in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a predominantly African American student population.

Despite serving a student body with similar demographic characteristics to nearby schools, VERITAS Community School CFA consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. The school's academic performance on state standardized tests is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, and it struggles to effectively serve its student subgroups, such as African American students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to nearby Highland Mill Montessori, Oaklawn Language Academy, and other First Ward Creative Arts Academy schools, which outperform VERITAS Community School CFA on academic measures.

The school's declining performance over time, with its statewide ranking dropping from 841 out of 1,429 elementary schools in 2016-2017 to 1,501 out of 1,502 in 2022-2023, is concerning. Additionally, the school's lack of transparency in reporting the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to fully understand the challenges faced by the student population and evaluate the school's performance in context.
