Research Triangle Charter


Summary:

Research Triangle Charter is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Durham, North Carolina, with a total enrollment of 693 students. As the only school in the district, it stands out for its diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students, as well as some pockets of stronger academic performance in reading and science compared to the state averages.

While Research Triangle Charter has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools over the past three years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's diverse student body and some academic bright spots may provide opportunities for targeted interventions and improvements. The school's mathematics proficiency rates are significantly below the state averages, while reading and science proficiency rates are closer to the state levels, particularly in the upper grades. Additionally, with over 77% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can present additional challenges.

Overall, Research Triangle Charter is a struggling school that faces academic and socioeconomic challenges, but its diverse student population and pockets of stronger performance in certain subjects may offer avenues for growth and improvement in the future.
