As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote They should have never combined the schools. Upper school is the absolute worst! My child is terrified while in school and the administration team is ridiculous! I have been apart of Nathaniel Alexander for the last 10 yrs and I will be removing my two children from this place immediately! Close Quote

Open Quote This is supposed to be a magnet school with a focus on STEM learning. The STEM programming is nonexistent. The school leadership is not only uninterested in creating a STEM culture but is not vested in the success of ALL students. The student body is overwhelmingly Black, thus lacking diversity. The coursework is unimaginative and lacks the challenge needed to foster strong academic knowledge and skills for future success. In a world where the federal government mandates that employees are entitled to a 30-minute lunch it is beyond absurd that students are only provided 20-minutes. That is not only unhealthy but grossly unreasonable. The lack of extracurricular activities for middle school students is inexcusable, especially considering that middle school is an essential developmental phase in adolescence. This school does NOT deserve to be called a STEM school or a Magnet school. Mecklenburg County should be utterly ashamed of themselves for promoting it is as such. Close Quote

Open Quote I have two children here and I have been pleased with their education. My 1st grader reads on a 3rd grade level and my 3rd grader reads on a 5th grade level. Their teachers have been wonderful each year and the principal Mrs. Agurs is WONDERFUL!!! Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
