State report card

North Carolina grades every public school A to F. The grade is based 80% on student achievement and 20% on academic growth, according to the state’s 2025-26 annual testing report. For a high school, achievement includes end-of-course tests, the ACT or WorkKeys, NC Math 3 and the four-year graduation rate.

The school opened in 2025, so it has no grade in the state’s latest published report card data (2024-25). Its first state test results are in the 2025-26 school assessment workbook:

• At grade level or above, all end-of-course tests: 81.2% (statewide, all tests: 59.2%)
• College and career ready (Level 4 and above): 64.1%
• Growth: exceeded expected growth
• Graduation rate: none yet; the school has not had a graduating class

The state’s NC School Report Cards site has no full report card for the school yet; its latest report cards cover 2024-25, before the school opened.
