South Mecklenburg High School

Summary:

South Mecklenburg High School is a public magnet high school in Charlotte, North Carolina, serving 3,344 students in grades 9-12 and part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools district.

The school faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic performance, with proficiency rates in core subjects like Biology, English II, and Math I below the district and state averages. Performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and multi-racial students outperforming their African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner peers. South Mecklenburg High School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 96 out of 469 high schools in 2017-2018 to 381 out of 640 high schools in 2023-2024, suggesting the school has not kept pace with other high schools in the state.

Compared to nearby magnet schools like Military and Global Leadership and Hawthorne Academy of Health Sciences, South Mecklenburg High School's performance is generally lower, with these schools having higher proficiency rates and better statewide rankings. Additionally, Ardrey Kell High School, a public high school located about 6 miles away, consistently outperforms South Mecklenburg across all academic metrics. The school's diverse student population and the wide fluctuations in the performance of its homeless student population also indicate a need for more targeted interventions and comprehensive support services.

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.
