Summary:
The city of Charlotte, Texas is home to three schools - Charlotte Elementary, Charlotte High School, and Charlotte Middle - that serve students from elementary through high school. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, they also exhibit distinct strengths and weaknesses.
Charlotte High School stands out as a high-performing institution, with an impressive 96.6% 4-year graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, both of which are better than the district and state averages. The school also outperforms the district and state on several STAAR End-of-Course exams, particularly in English and U.S. History. In contrast, Charlotte Elementary has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking and proficiency rates on STAAR tests across multiple grade levels and subjects.
The Charlotte Independent School District as a whole faces socioeconomic challenges, with all three schools having high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The district's efforts to address these challenges are evident in the relatively high spending per student, which is particularly high at Charlotte High School. Additionally, Charlotte Middle stands out for its low student-teacher ratio and 0.0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention efforts.
