Enrollment and teachers

  • The school opened in July 2025, after the latest state and federal enrollment counts were taken. Its first counts will appear in the state’s 2025-26 report card data.

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 this school, achievement is measured by the state’s end-of-grade reading, math and science tests.

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 state tests: 78.8% (statewide, all tests: 59.2%)
  • College and career ready (Level 4 and above): 62.5%
  • Growth: met expected growth
  • Reading: 72.7% at grade level or above; math: 85.2%

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.
