CMS Schools Soar in State Grades | Charlotte News

from Charlotte News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is on a winning streak, with 136 out of 184 schools earning A, B, or C grades — and just two failing — while low-performing schools dropped from 50 to 28. Ashley Park Pre-K-8 flipped from an F to a C in just two years, prompting one parent to return his child after seeing real progress. Literacy shines brightest: 77% of third graders are now proficient — up 11 points since pandemic lows. District leaders credit clear goals and disciplined execution. Still, gaps remain, though graduation rates hit nearly 88%. Superintendent was even honored in Raleigh for the student wins — proof CMS is heading in the right direction, even as the work continues.
