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.
