Summary

Reid Park Academy is a PK–5 elementary school in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools serving 317 students in a high-need area of Charlotte, NC. Virtually every student (99%) qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, and 39.6% were chronically absent in 2024-25, well above the district rate of 26.8%. The school currently ranks at the 15th percentile of North Carolina elementary schools — an improvement from the 5th percentile of the prior two years, but still in the bottom fifth statewide.

Academically, Reid Park Academy trails district and state averages in nearly every subject. Its math proficiency (38.8%) and 5th grade science proficiency (42.2%) sit far below the district averages of 68.0% and 70.9%. Comparisons with nearby schools serving similarly high poverty levels make the gap harder to ignore: Renaissance West STEAM Academy, just 0.9 miles away with a nearly identical free-lunch rate, posted a 71.8% math average and 75.8% science proficiency. Charles H. Parker Academic Center and Ashley Park PreK-8 School also outperform Reid Park by wide margins in math and science. Reading at Reid Park is closer to its neighbors — and higher than Marie G Davis School — but math and science remain large, persistent gaps.

There are encouraging signs. Looking at specific student groups, its English Language Learner students jumped from the 6th to 40th percentile in a single year, and its African American students rank at the 46th percentile statewide among comparable schools. The school's 4th graders exceeded both district and state reading averages, and per-pupil spending ($13,382) and student-teacher ratio (12.3) are among the most favorable in the area. The school's overall state percentile tripled from 5th to 15th in one year, suggesting momentum. The clearest opportunities ahead: reduce chronic absenteeism — roughly 4 in 10 students are still chronically absent — and strengthen math and science instruction in the early grades.
