How North Carolina's high schools compare

A: 161B: 155C: 154D: 132F: 6

52% of the 608 ranked high schools in North Carolina earn an A or B (161 A grades, 155 B, 154 C, 132 D, 6 F), against 50% of high schools nationwide. 452 schools meet or beat the proficiency projected from their student context (74% here, 74% nationally), and 295 exceed it. On average 58% of tested students meet the state bar against a projected 54% (national averages: 44% actual, 41% projected).

The biggest overperformers, by actual proficiency above projection: Henderson Collegiate (78% against 22%, A), Sallie B Howard School (82% against 30%, A+), Durham Charter School (64% against 19%, B), Triad Math And Science Academy (68% against 27%, B+), Edgecombe Early College High (92% against 54%, A+).

Districts with the most schools in the top quarter (the top 152): Wake County Schools (12), Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (9), Guilford County Schools (7), Union County Public Schools (5).

Cities with the most ranked high schools: Charlotte (32, 14 at A or B), Greensboro (19, 12 at A or B), Fayetteville (15, 9 at A or B), Durham (15, 8 at A or B), Raleigh (14, 12 at A or B).

The largest ranked high schools: Myers Park High School (3,593 students, B, #216), Ardrey Kell High School (3,529 students, A-, #111), South Mecklenburg High School (3,344 students, C+, #341).

Of the top 25, 1 is a magnet school and 0 are charters. Selective and specialised schools tend to post high actual scores; the projection column is the fairer comparison for a neighborhood school.
