Summary

Mount Pleasant High is a public high school in Mount Pleasant, North Carolina, serving 896 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Cabarrus County Schools district, which is ranked 66 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Academically, Mount Pleasant High consistently ranks in the top half of North Carolina high schools, with performance on End-of-Course exams generally on par with or slightly below the district average but above the state average in most subjects. The school excels in Math III, with 77.7% of students proficient or better, compared to 75.1% for the district and 66.4% for the state. However, the school struggles more with its Hispanic and White student populations, ranking in the bottom half of the state for these subgroups, and also has a relatively low ranking for its Special Education and Gifted and Talented student populations.

Compared to nearby schools, Mount Pleasant High performs better academically than Jay M Robinson High and West Cabarrus High, but lags behind the higher-performing Northwest Cabarrus High and the two early college high schools in the Cabarrus County Schools district. The school's rising percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, from 21.4% to nearly 40%, suggests the need for additional resources and support for students from low-income backgrounds.
