Summary:
Charlotte Secondary School is the only high school located in the Charlotte Secondary School district in Charlotte, North Carolina. This public charter school serves grades 6-12 and has a total enrollment of 175 students. Despite its diverse student population, with nearly half of the students being African American and almost a third being Hispanic, Charlotte Secondary has consistently struggled academically, with test scores and rankings well below the state averages.
The school's proficiency rates in various subjects and grade levels range from just 9.1% to 44.4%, compared to the state averages of 46.9% to 70.1%. This has resulted in Charlotte Secondary School ranking 562 out of 640 high schools in North Carolina and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, the school does have a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15:1, which could be a positive factor in addressing the academic challenges.
The data suggests that Charlotte Secondary may serve a high-need population, with a significant proportion of students likely coming from low-income families. Targeted interventions and support services may be necessary to help these students overcome the challenges they face and improve their academic achievement. Addressing the school's consistently low performance will likely require a multifaceted approach, including a focus on improving teaching and learning practices, resource allocation, and ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students.
