SCHOOL PERFORMANCE
Each year, schools in North Carolina may
receive several designations based on their performance on the
state's ABCs tests. Those designations are awarded on the basis of
the percentage of students performing at grade level and on whether
students have learned as much as they are expected to learn in one
year. The designations earned by your school are displayed below,
followed by a brief description of each
designation.
