Summary

Mint Hill Elementary School, located in the Matthews/Charlotte, NC area, serves 864 students in grades PK–5 and is part of Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. The school's state ranking has improved steadily from the 23rd percentile in 2023-2024 to the 38th percentile with a 2-star rating in 2025-2026, a clear sign of momentum. Even with these gains, Mint Hill Elementary School remains below the statewide median and trails many nearby elementary schools.

Academic results are strongest in math and in 5th grade reading. Fifth-grade reading proficiency more than doubled in two years to 56.2%, now just above the state average, and 4th grade math, at 62.8%, also slightly exceeds the state. However, early-grade reading is the school's biggest vulnerability, with 3rd and 4th grade proficiency near 43–44% — roughly 14 points below the state. Fifth-grade math, at 50.6%, also calls for attention. Special education stands out as the most urgent area of need, ranking in the 10th percentile statewide, while English learners have made notable gains, climbing to the 55th percentile. This uneven picture suggests the strides made schoolwide haven't reached every group of students equally.

Nearly all Mint Hill students (99.65%) come from economically disadvantaged households, so comparisons to nearby schools with very different populations must be made with care. Two comparable-poverty schools nearby — Crown Point Elementary and Idlewild Elementary — rank about 20 percentile points higher, showing that strong results are achievable with similar demographics. More affluent neighbors like Matthews Elementary, Bain Elementary, and Stallings Elementary rank near the 90th percentile. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 32% to 23.2% and now sits below the district average, though it still exceeds the rate at higher-performing schools. With a student-teacher ratio of 16.5 — comparable to Bain and Stallings — and two consecutive years of improvement, Mint Hill appears positioned to continue climbing if it sharpens its focus on early-grade reading and special education supports.
