How North Carolina's high schools compare

A: 296B: 167C: 88D: 31F: 2

79% of the 584 ranked high schools in North Carolina earn an A or B (296 A grades, 167 B, 88 C, 31 D, 2 F), against 48% of high schools nationwide. 560 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (96% here, 75% nationally), and 477 exceed it. On average 58% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 46% (national averages: 42% actual, 40% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Thomas Jefferson Class Academy (79% against 36%, A+), Henderson Collegiate (60% against 18%, A), Harper Middle College High (95% against 55%, A+), Nc Leadership Charter Academy (81% against 41%, A+), Gray Stone Day Misenheimer (79% against 39%, A).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 146): Wake County Schools (16), Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (11), Union County Public Schools (5), Guilford County Schools (5).

Cities with the most ranked high schools: Charlotte (32, 23 at A or B), Greensboro (18, 16 at A or B), Raleigh (14, 14 at A or B), Fayetteville (14, 10 at A or B), Durham (14, 9 at A or B).

The largest ranked high schools: Myers Park High School (3,593 students, A+, #86), Ardrey Kell High School (3,529 students, A+, #49), South Mecklenburg High School (3,344 students, A-, #218).

Of the top 25, 1 is a magnet school and 1 is a charter. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.
