Summary

Collaborative College for Technology is a small public high school in Statesville, NC, serving 232 students in grades 9–12 within Iredell-Statesville Schools, a district that ranks near the middle of North Carolina. Despite that context, this school is a top performer statewide: it is ranked #4 out of 662 North Carolina high schools for 2025–2026, placing it in the 99th percentile with a 5-star rating. This is no one-year fluke — the school has finished in the top 30 for six straight years, including top-10 finishes in four of them, with an upward trend from #14 to #9 to #4 over the past three reporting years.

Academic results on state End-of-Course exams are nearly perfect. In the latest testing year, 100% of students were proficient in Biology, 100% in Math I, and 98% in English II, versus statewide averages of roughly 59%, 42%, and 65%. The math numbers are especially striking: Math I proficiency has been at or near 100% in recent years, about 60 points above the district average. The contrast with nearby traditional high schools in the same district is stark: Lake Norman High ranks #230, South Iredell High #276, North Iredell High #437, West Iredell High #515, and Statesville High #588. The only schools in the area posting similar results are fellow early-college campuses Crossroads Arts and Science Early College (#11) and Agriculture and Science Early College (#50).

Attendance is another differentiator: only 5.6% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025 — meaning they missed a significant number of school days — compared with 19.9% for the district, 24.2% statewide, and 45.5% at Statesville High. Strong results hold across student groups as well: female students rank #1 in the state among their peers, and low-income students — roughly a quarter to a third of enrollment — perform at the 96th percentile relative to low-income students statewide. Notably, this success does not come from extra funding: the school spends about $7,803 per student, less than the $10,092 spent at Statesville High and less than several other lower-performing local high schools. In short, this focused collaborative early-college model delivers exceptional, consistent results.
