Summary

Tuckaseegee Elementary is a K-5 school in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in Charlotte, NC, serving 544 students in a high-poverty community. The school has staged a remarkable turnaround over the past decade, climbing from the 8th percentile statewide with a 0-star rating in 2015-16 to the 58th percentile with a 3-star rating in 2025-26. That places it in the upper-middle range of North Carolina elementary schools — and above many nearby schools serving similar populations, including Whitewater Academy (15th percentile), Thomasboro Academy (13th percentile), and Movement Charter School (14th percentile).

Tuckaseegee's greatest strengths are in math and science, particularly at 5th grade. In 2025-26, 5th-grade math proficiency reached 76.7% — about 10 points above the district average and 14 points above the state. Fifth-grade science proficiency hit 77.4%, also well above district and state averages. The school earns top-20% rankings statewide for African American students, Hispanic students, English learners, and low-income students, and a remarkable 96th percentile ranking for gifted students. Its student-teacher ratio of 13.6 is more favorable than nearby Paw Creek Elementary (17.3) and Whitewater Academy (17.6).

Reading remains the school's biggest academic challenge, with proficiency rates slightly below state averages at every grade level. However, 3rd-grade reading jumped from 35.4% to 54.4% in a single year, a sign of possible momentum. Chronic absenteeism of 29.6% is above the state average of 24.2%, though better than several surrounding schools such as Renaissance West STEAM Academy (35.2%) and Ashley Park PreK-8 School (34.2%). If the school can keep building on its reading gains and reduce absenteeism, this once-struggling elementary is well positioned to push into the top quarter of North Carolina schools.

What people are saying

by a citizen
Thursday, June 6, 2013

I am a parent of a former student of Tuckaseegee Elementary, I was always proud to recommend this school to other parents that I came in contact within my community. Their magnet program and regular education program were second to none. In the past few years I have heard nothing but complaints from the students who attend the school and parents who try to deal with the school administration. I am heart broken that such a wonderful school has failed so badly to provide the children in this community a quality education in such short order. I have driven by the school numerous times and have seen either campus security or the CMPD parked in front of the school only to hear later of some horrendous act committed by a student. This is not just a failing on the part of the parents whose children attend but on the part of the staff and administration who run the school. It really is a crying shame that the quality of education is so lacking in a community where knowledge is going to be a big factor in the success of these children's lives. Close Quote
