In September, the State of North Carolina released School Performance Grades and state assessment results from the 2024-25 school year.
We’re proud to share that for the 2024-25 school year, Summit Charter School earned a School Performance Grade of a B at 74 percent. Summit’s performance represents a nine-point increase from the previous year and our highest score in the fourteen years of the state’s current School Performance Grade framework.
North Carolina’s School Performance Grade represents the state’s overall rating of school performance based on a combination of student academic achievement levels and student growth on end of year state tests.
According to the Department of Public Instruction, growth scores are determined by a statistical model that compares each student’s predicted test score, based on past performance, against his or her actual result.
School performance scores are based on a 100-point scale, with corresponding letter grades assigned as follows: 85-100 = A, 70-84 = B, 55-69 = C, 40-54 = D, and less than 40 = F. Student achievement levels make up 80 percent of a school’s performance grade, and student growth measures make up 20 percent.
While we will continue to value our students’ achievements and growth through measures beyond state test scores, we are incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication of our students, teachers, and families that Summit’s state rating reflects. The state’s School Performance Grade includes a number of academic indicators in which our students have demonstrated important increases in achievement levels across multiple tested subjects and grade levels over the past several years.
Overall, in comparison to state performance averages, Summit’s student achievement levels continue to meet and in most cases exceed the state averages in all tested subjects at each of the elementary, middle, and high school levels. Additionally, Summit met state growth expectations in every tested subject area.
We are proud of our students’ academic achievements, and see their continued growth as a reflection of their hard work, the dedication of our teachers, and the support of Summit parents. With our mission and portrait of a Summit graduate at the forefront, we are also eager to utilize these results to help drive our continuous improvement to best support our students’ academic achievement and growth. As we do, Summit’s emphasis on the whole-child and our focus on academic excellence, community engagement, and strength of character will remain our driving focus each day.
