Independence High School

Summary:

Independence High School is a public high school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 2,022 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district, which is ranked 140 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Independence High School has a diverse student population, with significant Hispanic (43.13%) and African American (28.73%) representation, its academic performance lags behind the district and state averages. The school's proficiency rates in End-of-Course (EOC) exams, such as 50.3% in Biology, 52% in English II, 24.2% in Math I, and 51.3% in Math III, are lower than the district's 51.4%, 58.9%, 29.3%, and 58.4%, respectively. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 111 out of 531 North Carolina high schools in 2014-2015 to 409 out of 640 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating.

Interestingly, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, Independence High School ranked 92 out of 101 North Carolina high schools for Asian students, 150 out of 437 for African American students, and 342 out of 454 for Hispanic students. When compared to nearby schools, such as Providence High School, which consistently outperforms Independence High School, the school's academic challenges become more apparent. The school's free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 25.85% in 2021-2022 to 42.28% in 2022-2023, also suggest a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to the school's academic struggles.

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.
