TMSA Charlotte

Summary:

TMSA Charlotte is a public charter school serving grades K-12 in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a diverse student population of over 1,200 students.

TMSA Charlotte consistently outperforms the state average in mathematics and reading proficiency, with 73.8% of 3rd-grade students proficient in mathematics compared to the state's 62.7%. The school's science proficiency rates are also strong, though its performance in high school end-of-course exams is mixed. Compared to nearby charter schools like Valor Preparatory Academy, Sugar Creek Charter, and Corvian Community School, TMSA Charlotte's academic performance is generally stronger, particularly in mathematics and reading. However, the school's high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 26.1 to 32.3, may be a potential area of concern.

TMSA Charlotte serves a more economically diverse student population, with 41.27% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby charter schools. This suggests the school is providing educational opportunities to students from various socioeconomic backgrounds. While the school's overall academic performance is strong, its performance in high school end-of-course exams, particularly in Biology, English II, and Math III, could benefit from further analysis and targeted interventions.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
