Summary

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Virtual School is a public high school serving grades 5-12 with 912 students, part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district in North Carolina. The school has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate between 256 and 375 over the past 5 years, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent year.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Virtual School generally outperforms the district and state averages in end-of-course (EOC) exams, particularly in subjects like English II, Math III, and Science. However, the school struggles in Math I, with only 37.8% proficiency compared to 28.8% for the district and 34.4% for the state. The school's performance is strongest among certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 25-30% of high schools statewide for African American and Hispanic students. Conversely, the school's performance is weakest among disabled and gifted/talented students, ranking in the bottom 25% of high schools in those subgroups.

Compared to nearby traditional high schools like West Mecklenburg High School and Harding University High School, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Virtual School generally outperforms them in academic metrics.
