Summary

Community Public Charter is an alternative public charter school located in Stanley, North Carolina, serving grades KG-9 with a total enrollment of 755 students. The school has been in operation for several years and generally performs better than the state average in mathematics and science, but has more mixed results in reading and struggles on end-of-course (EOC) exams.

Community Public Charter's strengths include significantly outperforming the state average in 5th grade mathematics and science. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby charter schools. However, the school's proficiency rates on EOC exams, particularly in Biology, English II, and Math I, are significantly lower than the state average. While the school's performance on state assessments is generally on par with or slightly better than nearby Pioneer Springs Community School and Piedmont Community Charter School, it struggles more on EOC exams compared to these nearby charters.

The lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the school's performance in serving economically disadvantaged students, which is an important consideration for charter schools. Overall, Community Public Charter appears to be a relatively strong performing charter school, with particular strengths in mathematics and science, but with room for improvement on EOC exams and in serving all students effectively.
