The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) recently released its 2017-2018 READY Accountability Data, which included graduation rates, School Performance Grades, student proficiency and academic growth. A couple of highlights for our district include 88 percent – 32 schools – met or exceeded academic growth targets for students and an 89.2 percent graduation rate, which is higher than the state average.

 

Although we are pleased that our graduation rate continues to outpace the state average, we are not content. We will continue to focus our efforts to ensure that all of our students graduate and that we are making our schools and classrooms spaces that engage students and facilitate learning.

 

Cabarrus County Schools is fortunate to have outstanding community support for our students, staff and district. Once again this year, several organizations and community members donated school supplies to help students begin the new year with essential items.
