Summary

Esperanza Global Academy is an elementary school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 349 students in grades PK-4. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 119 out of 242 districts in the state.

Academically, Esperanza Global Academy struggles compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 1367 out of 1490 North Carolina elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American students performing relatively better than Hispanic students and English Language Learners. Esperanza Global Academy's mathematics and reading proficiency rates are significantly lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the upper elementary grades.

While Esperanza Global Academy has a higher spending per student and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools, such as Hickory Grove Elementary and Oakhurst STEAM Academy, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's high concentration of students from low-income families, as indicated by the 99.14% free and reduced lunch rate, may be a contributing factor to its struggles.
