American Renaissance School

American Renaissance School is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Statesville, North Carolina. While the school has a diverse student population, its academic performance lags behind state averages, particularly in math. With over 40% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, American Renaissance School appears to be serving a disadvantaged community that could benefit from additional resources and support.

The school's test scores are significantly below the North Carolina state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 3rd grade math, only 39% of students scored proficient or better, compared to the state average of 62.7%. However, the school performs better in 8th grade science, with 74.1% of students scoring proficient or better, exceeding the state's 70.1% average. Despite its diverse student population, the performance gaps suggest that American Renaissance School may not be effectively serving all student subgroups.

Over the past three years, American Renaissance School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of North Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 903 and 1,048 out of around 1,500 schools. The school's 2-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates that it has been a lower-performing school for some time, and there may be opportunities for improvement in curriculum, instruction, and support for disadvantaged students.
