There are a number of ways to find out what is going on in North Carolina’s classrooms. However, the most comprehensive, “one-stop shop” for public school information is just a mouse-click away: the North Carolina School Report Cards Web site. 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.
We hope the data on the School Report Cards Web site will help you engage in informed conversations about public education with principals, teachers, parents, school officials, business leaders and other members of your community. We are all stakeholders in our students’ success. By working together, we can improve our more than 2,500 public and charter schools and make the future brighter for our young people and for our state.
