Welcome to
The School House

The Charlotte Observer's data source for information about Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. Here's some of what you'll find:

  • Safety and behavior: Check whether the school reported any violent or criminal incidents in 2006-07, and see what teachers said about safety, bullying and behavior.
  • 2008-09 projections: Find out how many students and mobile classrooms are expected next year.
  • State test results: At-a-glance charts that show how various groups fared. For instance, you can check the percent of gifted students who earned top scores, or how low-income students at any school compared with peers districtwide.
  • High achievers: Find out how many gifted students the school had last year, and how that compares with other schools.
