Schools' latest report cards now on line

Data from Char-Meck, NC and GreatSchools show changes but may not explain reasons
How are our local schools and students doing? You can get a picture from the 2010-11 School Year data released in late April by Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, the NC Department of Education and from similar data collected by GreatSchools.org.
The numbers only tell part of the story, of course. For instance, CMS redraws school attendance zones periodically. The change in students can result in dramatic changes in end-of-grade test results, as well.
However, the data and overview included in each report do provide some framework for comparing the main Mecklenburg schools serving the Catawba River District’s elementary and middle-school students.
