Summary:
Carolina Charter Academy is a public charter elementary and middle school located in Angier, North Carolina, serving 755 students from kindergarten through 8th grade. The school is part of the Achievement Charter Academy district, which is ranked 37th out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.
Carolina Charter Academy stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and reading. The school outperforms the state average in EOG/Mathematics and EOG/Reading proficiency across most grade levels, with standout results in 3rd grade mathematics (76.3% proficient, compared to the state average of 62.7%) and 6th grade reading (80.3% proficient, compared to the state average of 49.5%). The school's Asian and Hispanic student subgroups also perform exceptionally well, ranking 59th and 355th, respectively, out of over 900 North Carolina elementary schools. However, the school's White and low socioeconomic status student subgroups rank lower, at 672nd and 548th out of over 1,400 North Carolina elementary schools, indicating a need for targeted interventions to address these disparities.
While Carolina Charter Academy generally outperforms the nearby Harnett County Schools district, it lags behind the higher-performing Wake County Schools district. For example, Ballentine Elementary and Willow Springs Elementary, both in the Wake County district, have significantly higher academic proficiency rates than Carolina Charter Academy across multiple grade levels and subject areas. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 690th out of 1,489 North Carolina elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 612th out of 1,502 in 2022-2023, despite its generally strong performance, suggests that other schools may be improving at a faster rate.
