Charlotte Secondary School

Charlotte Secondary School is a public charter high school serving grades 6-12 in Charlotte, North Carolina. As the only school in the district, it faces significant challenges, with consistently low performance on state assessments and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past three years.

Compared to state averages, Charlotte Secondary has alarmingly low proficiency rates in mathematics, ranging from 9.1% to 35.3%, and reading, ranging from 11.8% to 30%. The school's science proficiency rate for 8th grade is also well below the state average, at 40.9% compared to 70.1%. These poor academic outcomes are reflected in the school's ranking of 562 out of 640 North Carolina high schools for the 2023-2024 school year.

The student population at Charlotte Secondary is diverse, with a racial makeup of 48.57% African American, 29.14% Hispanic, 13.14% White, and 9.14% two or more races. However, the school's struggles to provide a high-quality education appear to be persistent, as its rankings and ratings have remained stagnant over the past three school years. This suggests that Charlotte Secondary School District may need to implement significant changes and interventions to improve student outcomes and better serve its diverse student population.
