Summary

Cabarrus County Schools Virtual Academy in Concord, NC, is a small virtual school serving 107 students in grades 6–12, offering an alternative to the traditional classroom setting within the Cabarrus County Schools district. The academy's overall state ranking is middle-of-the-pack: it sits at the 46th percentile nationally among North Carolina high schools with a 2-star rating, though it has generally hovered between the 35th and 56th percentiles over the past five years.

For parents, the most compelling strengths lie in specific subjects and student groups. The academy's economically disadvantaged students perform far above statewide peers, earning a 4-star subgroup rating and ranking in the 78th percentile, even as the school overall scores at the 46th percentile. Reading and English scores are consistently strong: in 2025–2026, 7th grade reading proficiency reached 81.8% and English II proficiency hit 76.9%, both well above district and state averages. Eighth grade science has been a standout, with proficiency between 80% and 92% over the past four years. Attendance is also a notable plus: chronic absenteeism was 14.7% in 2024–2025, roughly 10 points better than the state average and lower than several nearby traditional schools like West Cabarrus High (25.5%) and Jay M Robinson High (22.8%). The latest graduation rate of 92.3% matches the district rate, despite the school's modest 2-star ranking.

The main challenge is math, especially at advanced levels. Math III proficiency has lagged far behind state averages every year, reaching just 50% in 2025–2026 compared with 68.9% statewide. Middle-grade math scores can also swing dramatically from year to year, reflecting the very small number of students tested—8th grade math proficiency fell to just 20% in 2025–2026. Parents should also be aware that the student-teacher ratio jumped from around 12 to 26.7 in 2024–2025, which may affect individualized support. The school's best approach for families, then, is to look beyond its overall rating and weigh its clear strengths—flexibility, strong attendance, and impressive outcomes for low-income students—against a curriculum that is less reliable in mathematics.
