What are School Progress Reports?
The School Progress Reports were created at the request of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education. The reports are designed to tell parents about a lot of different things in our schools. Test scores, an explanation of testing measurements, how our students and parents feel about our schools and safety-audit results are all included in these reports.
As educators and parents, we have a common goal of preparing our children to compete in an ever-growing global community. This goal requires constant dialogue between school and parents. Parents are a child’s best advocate.
January 20, 2012 Update
Several issues of data accuracy have come to light in the School Progress Reports for the 2010-2011 school year. These reports are an important part of the CMS commitment to transparency and sharing accurate data with the community. For that reason, we have decided to revisit the reports to more thoroughly verify their accuracy and correct any errors. The School Progress Reports have been removed from public view on the CMS website while this verification is completed. We will post the reports again after the data has been fully audited.
