Faith Academy

Faith Academy Charter School is the sole school serving grades K-8 in the Faith, North Carolina area, with a total enrollment of 601 students. While the school maintains strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and reading, it has seen a decline in its state ranking over the past year, dropping from a 4-star to a 3-star rating.

Faith Academy Charter School stands out for its racial diversity, with a predominantly white student population (90.35%) and smaller percentages of African American (2.66%), Hispanic (3.33%), and Asian (1%) students. Academically, the school outperforms the state average in several grade levels for both mathematics and reading proficiency, with standout performance in 4th-grade reading at 73.7% compared to the state's 55.3%.

However, the school's drop in state ranking from the 2021-2022 school year to the 2022-2023 school year, from 390 out of 1,514 North Carolina elementary schools to 553 out of 1,502, raises questions about potential changes in the school's performance or the overall performance of other schools in the state. Additionally, the lack of data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to assess the school's socioeconomic diversity and potential challenges faced by the student population.
