Flags show magnet, charter, alternative and virtual schools. Some campuses — early college and specialized academies among them — also admit by application, and this page cannot yet identify all of them. Check with the district before assuming a school is open to your address.

How to read this. North Carolina suppresses results above 95% or below 5% to protect student privacy. Those schools are shown at the 95% or 5% boundary and are excluded from headline statistics. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, North Carolina figures should not be compared against another state's.
