The Exploris School

The Exploris School is a public charter school serving grades K-8 in Raleigh, North Carolina, with a total enrollment of 447 students. This standout school has consistently ranked in the top third of North Carolina elementary schools, though its ranking has declined in recent years. The Exploris School boasts high academic performance, particularly in the upper grades, with proficiency rates in mathematics and science exceeding state averages.

Compared to other schools in the state, The Exploris School has a relatively diverse student population, with 68.46% White, 13.65% African American, 6.71% Hispanic, and 2.68% Asian students. The school's student-teacher ratio of 12.3 is lower than the state average, indicating smaller class sizes. However, the lack of data on free and reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the school's efforts to serve students from low-income backgrounds, a potential area of concern.

While The Exploris School has maintained a strong ranking in the past, its recent decline warrants further investigation. The school's strengths in the upper grades suggest that it may be providing a high-quality education for its older students, but the overall trend in performance relative to other schools in the state is a cause for concern and should be closely monitored.
