The N.C. State Board of Education meets today. Here is the agenda.
School performance grades were released yesterday. There is a new dashboard and so more than the usual number of questions.

Under “Select a group of schools,” a drop-down menu will allow you to choose a district or pick charter, laboratory, or regional.
To explore a specific school’s report, click on the drop-down menu under “See results for this school” to select the school you are interested in.
In the upper left hand corner, you can see the school grades from 2022 to 2025. Note that growth now shows up as a numeral.

And here is the annual testing and performance report.
