Preschool | Grades K-4 | Highland Charter

Highland Charter School is located in Gastonia, NC and is in Highland Charter School District. It is a charter school that serves 104 students in grades K-4.

Charter schools are public schools, but differ from traditional public schools in that they are independent and are operated by educators, parents, community leaders, educational entrepreneurs, or others. Funding for charter schools is based on designated local or state educational organizations. Those organizations are responsible for monitoring and assessing the quality and effectiveness of education, but permit the schools to operate outside of the traditional public school education system.

Highland Charter School did not make AYP in 2012. Under No Child Left Behind, a school makes Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) if it achieves the minimum levels of improvement determined by the state of North Carolina in terms of student performance and other accountability measures. See Highland Charter School's test results to learn more about school performance.

In 2011, Highland Charter School had 29 students for every full-time equivalent teacher. The North Carolina average is 15 students per full-time equivalent teacher. Learn more about Highland Charter School's students and teachers. more
