Global Scholars Academy


Summary:

Global Scholars Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in Durham, North Carolina. This school has a diverse student population, with a high concentration of economically disadvantaged students, and is currently struggling academically, with test scores well below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas.

Global Scholars Academy has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 991 out of 1,514 North Carolina elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,420 out of 1,505 schools in 2023-2024, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. This underperformance is particularly concerning given the school's high percentage of students (98.58%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Despite the school's challenges, it does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning and support. However, the data suggests that targeted interventions and additional support may be needed to address the specific learning needs of the student population and help improve academic achievement at Global Scholars Academy.
