Summary:

Zip code 28209 contains exactly one high school: Myers Park High School, a large public school serving grades 9 through 12 with roughly 3,225 students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district.

Myers Park is a strong performer in most core subjects. In 2025-2026, it beat both the district and state proficiency averages by double digits in Biology (69.5% compared to 58.5% statewide), English II (73.8% vs. 64.6% statewide), and Math III (79.4% vs. 68.9% statewide). Its graduation rate of 89.2% is also slightly above the district rate of 87.9% and the state rate of 88.8%.

Chronic absenteeism is another concern, with 32.2% of students chronically absent, which is far above the state rate of 24.2%.

From 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, proficiency rose by 7.2 points in Biology, 4.6 points in English II, and 9.6 points in Math I, while Math III dipped slightly by 0.9 points. Despite these gains, Myers Park High School's statewide rank has slipped from the 71st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 63rd percentile in 2025-2026, suggesting that other high schools in North Carolina are improving at a faster pace.
