School Academic Growth represents the academic progress of a student compared to the average progress of students across the state in a given grade and/or subject. When the state has compelling evidence that the students in a school are progressing far above the average, the school is exceeding expected growth. When there is evidence that the students in a school are progressing consistent with the average, the school is meeting expected growth.
Growth is displayed in the School Report Card for subgroups when growth is part of the subgroup letter grade. To see additional growth details or growth of subgroups not part of the subgroup letter grade, including Academically/Intellectually Gifted and Homeless subgroups, use this link.
Grade Range | Letter Grade |
---|---|
85-100 | A |
70-84 | B |
55-69 | C |
40-54 | D |
Below 40 | F |
Please Note: The accountability measures used to calculate the achievement score and growth score changed slightly in 2017–18 to comply with the Every Student Succeeds Act requirements. Comparisons of School Performance Grades in 2017–18 to earlier school years’ results should be reviewed within that context.
For additional information about accountability indicators used in the calculation of the School Performance Grades see: https://www.dpi.nc.gov/districts-schools/testing-and-school-accountability/school-accountability-and-reporting/accountability-data-sets-and-reports.
Alternative Accountability Schools - Reedy Creek Elementary was approved to participate in the North Carolina Alternative Schools' Accountability Model (ASAM). For this reason, School Performance Grades are not available for this report. For more information about the ASAM please see the Alternative Schools' Modified Accountability System Manual. Review the ASAM performance of Reedy Creek Elementary at Option B Ratings or Option C Reports. |
Note on missing data: For the 2020-21 school year, the U.S. Department of Education and the North Carolina General Assembly (Session Law 2021-130) waived requirements for reporting the school-level accountability model and School Performance Grades; including achievement and growth. A condition of the federal waiver requires continued support for schools previously designated as Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) and Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI). Likewise, Session Law 2021-130 requires continued support for schools and districts identified as low performing based on data from 2018–19 school year.
Additionally, as a condition of the federal waiver test performance must be reported in the school report card, along with the cohort graduation rate, and the percent of English learners exiting such status. All of which are included in the 2020-21 School Report Card.
When possible, any stakes associated with the test results should be minimized. Schools and the state were not held to the 95 percent participation rule as required by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), but as a condition of the federal waiver, states were to report participation disaggregated by student subgroups. The disaggregated participation data were reported (1) for eligible students who took the tests and (2) for eligible students who did not take the tests. Please see the 2020-21 Participation Requirements report at Accountability Data Sets and Reports | NC DPI for more information.
Note - To protect student privacy, some data values for small groups will be suppressed as “> 95%” or “< 5%” in the charts or tables below. For counts less than 10, no data will be displayed.
This section describes some key measures about the students at this school.

This section describes student performance in various test subject areas. Student test performance is reported as one of four achievement levels. Not Proficient is below grade level. Level 3 is grade level proficient. Levels 4 and 5 indicate students are on track for career-and-college readiness.For grade 3 reading, the prior five achievement levels were used in 2020-21 so that there was no impact on the fulfillment of the Read to Achieve program. Levels 1 and 2 are below grade level, Level 3 is grade level proficient. Levels 4 and 5 indicate students are on track for career-and-college readiness.

What does the achievement level number mean? Students scoring at Not Proficient will likely need additional help in the next year to succeed in that subject area. Students scoring at Level 3 are considered proficient for that grade level or course but may still need some targeted help in the next grade or course. Students scoring at Levels 4 and 5 are ready for the next grade or course and are also on a path to be prepared for a career or college by the time they graduate.
In 2020-21, for third grade reading only, student test performance is reported as one of five achievement levels. Levels 1 and 2 are below grade level. Level 3 is grade level proficient. Levels 4 and 5 indicate students are on track for career and college readiness.

The four-year cohort graduation rate shows the percent of students who graduate in four years or less after first enrolling in 9th grade.
Research has shown the importance of learning to read by the end of third grade. The Read to Achieve program is a part of the Excellent Public Schools Act which became law in July of 2012 and applies to all schools at the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year. The goal of the State is to ensure that every student reads at or above grade level by the end of third grade. Students who are proficient on the 3rd-grade EOG or qualify for a "good cause exemption" are promoted to Grade 4. Students who are not proficient may be retained in 3rd grade or placed in 4th grade with extra reading instruction and interventions. For more information on the "Read to Achieve" Program please see:
https://www.dpi.nc.gov/districts-schools/testing-and-school-accountability/state-tests/grade-3-read-achieve-rtaThe percent of tested students is expected to be below 1% at the state level. Participation data is not published when the percentage of students participating is less than five percent to protect student privacy. When the percentage of students participating is greater than five percent, the participation data is published.
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires 95% of eligible students be tested on reading and mathematics assessments. Additionally, North Carolina has a requirement of 95% of eligible students be tested on science, ACT WorkKeys and ACT assessments.

National Board Certification, offered by the National Board For Professional Teaching Standards (NBPTS), recognizes the accomplished teaching that is occurring in North Carolina's classrooms. The certification process is based on high and rigorous standards that evaluate teaching practice through performance-based assessments. NBPTS Standards can be found at www.nbpts.org or www.boardcertifiedteachers.org .
North Carolina is reporting on the effectiveness of teachers across the State, which is measured using the North Carolina Educator Evaluation System. This system engages teachers, principals, and their evaluators in dynamic discussions that recognize educators' individual strengths and focuses on how they can improve their craft. The reports show ratings of the performance of teachers who were evaluated during the school year.
Please keep the following in mind when reviewing the educator effectiveness data.
Standards
For Standards 1 – 5, educators can receive one of five ratings on a standard. The individual evaluating the educator selects the ratings.
For Student Growth, educators can receive one of three ratings on a standard.

Standards for Educator Effectiveness
Educators are assigned effectiveness ratings based on their overall performance on the five observational standards and the overall growth rating (where available). The classification process is the same for educators whether they are on a comprehensive, standard, or abbreviated evaluation process. The three rating categories are listed below with a description of how they are derived

This chart shows the final average daily membership. Schools are compared to 'like' schools across the district and state.
Class size data for grades 4-8 is not available for 2020-21.
Class size is a calculation by grade of the number of students in classes divided by the number of lead teachers assigned to the classes for that grade. Lead teachers are only counted once in the calculation and have equal responsibility for all students in the class and do not include pull out teachers, teachers who work with select students, or teacher assistants.
If the students across sections of a course are all scheduled into a single Section or with the same Expression in PowerSchool, the class size maybe appear inflated, as it will appear as if they are all in the same class with a single teacher.
The Average Class Size report provides the average number of students enrolled in “typical” K-8 classrooms.
Schools are compared to 'like' schools across the district and state.
This data is based on the Legislated Class Size Report (LCS).
Course size data for grades 4-8 is not available for 2020-21.
The Average Course Size report provides the average number of students enrolled per section enrolled in the courses finishing with a North Carolina End-of-Course (EOC) test (English II, NC Math 1, NC Math 3, Biology).
This data is based on the Legislated Class Size Report (LCS). Course size data is based on the number of students taking the EOC tests.
Course size is important because it may influence the one-on-one attention that teachers provide to students and the level of classroom discipline. Keep in mind that class size averages my change slightly as students make changes to their schedules or as students move during the school year. Consider asking your school principal about targeted class sizes in your district.

This chart describes some of student behavior and discipline issues:
Rates per 1000 are calculated by dividing the total number of crimes or suspensions/expulsions by student membership at the State, District, or School level, and then multiplying by 1000. This statistic allows for general comparison of one entity to another by controlling for differences in student population size.
Since this is a rate and not a percentage, the >95 and <5 masking rules do not apply. Masking rules apply when a subgroup or student membership is less than 10. There were instances where the insufficient data rules were applied.

Chronic Absenteeism represents the percentage of students in a school or district who are chronically absent from school. A student is defined as chronically absent when they are enrolled in a North Carolina public school for at least 10 school days at any time during the school year, and whose total number of absences is equal to or greater than 10 percent of the total number of days that the student has been enrolled at any school during a given school year.
Student chronic absence is a risk factor for adverse outcomes. Student chronic absence differs from both truancy and average daily attendance. Student daily attendance is the percentage of students present in a school each day. Student truancy measures unexcused absences only. Student chronic absence refers to missing so much school, for any type of absence – excused, unexcused, disciplinary – that a student is at risk of falling behind.
This definition applies to all students enrolled in a school, including those who have not reached the compulsory attendance age, as well as those who have reached or exceeded the compulsory attendance age.
In some schools, the number of students who are counted as chronically absent may be greater than the total number of students, particularly in the counts for sub-groups. This is because a student may be counted as chronically absent in a school but not counted in the school's annual membership.
Students per device: The number of students per device in the school. On this measure, the lower the number the better. There are more computers available to students when this number is low.
Due to the delay in collecting the Digital Learning and Media Inventory (DLMI) for the 2019-20 school year until December 2020 because of Covid disruption, the data in the 2019-20 School Report Card is repeated in the 2020-21 version of the report.
A school library’s number of book titles per student indicates the availability of different book titles for students to select. A higher number of book titles per student indicates a wider variety of books to choose from.

This school receives Title I funding from the Federal Government which is designated to assist this school with providing all children a significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education, and to close achievement gaps.
As required by Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), North Carolina must identify schools with low performance on various measures for the purpose of providing additional support. A school is designated as TSI – Additional Targeted Support by having at least one subgroup where the Subgroup Performance Score is equal or below the overall School Performance Score of the highest identified CSI – Low Performing School. For the current identification that score is 32. For more information on how schools are identified see:
This section provides information on the school funding and expenditures.
Education is a labor-intensive enterprise, as reflected in the accompanying chart. Salaries for teachers and other staff are usually the largest expense in a charter school. Compensation includes salaries and benefits. State and federal funds are generally allotted for specific purposes, services, or programs.
