Concord Lake STEAM Academy

Concord Lake STEAM Academy is the sole public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Concord Lake STEAM Academy district, which is ranked 52 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 4-star rating. While the school has a diverse student population, it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking and rating over the past three years, suggesting it may be struggling to maintain or improve its academic performance compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Academically, Concord Lake STEAM Academy has mixed results, outperforming the state average in 5th and 8th grade science but underperforming in several mathematics and reading grade levels. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students (62.02%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This could present additional challenges for the school in supporting the academic and social-emotional needs of its student body.

While Concord Lake STEAM Academy is not a standout school based on the data provided, there may be opportunities for the school to improve its performance and rankings. By analyzing the specific areas of weakness, implementing targeted interventions, and leveraging the school's STEAM focus, the school could potentially make progress in improving student outcomes and better serving the needs of its diverse student population.
