Summary

Charles E Boger Elementary serves 895 students in grades PK–5 in Kannapolis, NC, as part of Cabarrus County Schools, a district ranked in the 73rd percentile statewide. Boger currently ranks 377th out of 1,492 North Carolina elementary schools — the 75th percentile with 4 stars — and has held that upper-quartile position for three consecutive years, completing a strong climb from a 2-star rating in 2016–17.

The school's biggest academic strengths appear early, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at 79%, well above the district's 72.5% and the state's 66.4%, and 3rd-grade reading also exceeding both benchmarks. Upper-grade math and 5th-grade science remain above state averages but dip slightly below Cabarrus County's high-performing figures — a possible area of focus going forward. Another highlight is attendance: chronic absenteeism has fallen steadily from 22.9% to 14.2% over four years, now well below the district rate of 18.0% and state average of 24.2%, and better than most nearby schools.

Locally, Boger is the clear #2 school in its cluster. W.R. Odell Elementary ranks at the 98th percentile just a few miles away, but Boger outperforms Concord Lake STEAM Academy, Weddington Hills Elementary, Winecoff Elementary, and nearly every Kannapolis City Schools elementary — despite serving a much more economically diverse population than Odell, with about 48% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Subgroup rankings add to the appeal: Black and Hispanic students perform at the 82nd and 77th percentiles statewide, respectively — both above the school's overall rank. Special education and gifted scores have fluctuated from year to year, but the overall picture is of a stable, effective, equity-minded school.
