Summary

Charlotte Teacher Early College is a small early-college high school in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools serving 192 students in grades 9–12 on the UNC Charlotte campus in Charlotte, NC. It is ranked 96th out of 662 North Carolina high schools for 2025–26, placing it in the 85th percentile with a 4-star rating — a notable jump from 177th the prior year. That makes it one of the highest-performing schools in its immediate area: Julius L. Chambers High School, about 1.5 miles away, ranks 570th, and Garinger High School ranks 578th.

Students outperform the district and state on every End-of-Course exam. Proficiency rates are 97.2% in English II, 96.9% in Math III, 82.2% in Biology, and 71.4% in Math I, versus state averages of 64.6%, 68.9%, 58.5%, and 42.1%. Each subject also improved sharply from the prior year. The school even measures up to the region's top early colleges: Char Eng Early College-UNCC, ranked 82nd and located on the same campus, posts nearly identical scores in Math III and English II, and Cox Mill High School trails in both subjects.

Strong results extend across student groups, with African American and Hispanic students ranking in the top 10% statewide and low-income students in the top 13%. Chronic absenteeism is just 5.5%, far below the district rate of 25.6% and much lower than nearby schools like Mallard Creek High School (30.3%). The 90.2% graduation rate also exceeds district and state averages. About 46% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, showing strong outcomes alongside meaningful economic diversity. The school's reported student-teacher ratio looks high at roughly 36:1, but that is expected for an early-college model where many classes are taught by university faculty. For families drawn to a small, rigorous college-preparatory setting, Charlotte Teacher Early College is worth serious consideration.
