“The
opportunity to have
such strong instruction in

years and have watched our daughter
flourish and grow academically,
creatively, and personally.”

NC School Report Cards Released
The North Carolina School Report Cards Web site has gone live. This site offers a collection of up-to-date data about student achievement and attendance, class size, school safety, teacher quality, school technology and other topics of interest to parents and others in the school community. The site was developed to provide the big and small pictures for many of the critical components of our students' educational experience.
