This page details a history of the Academy through the eyes of student achievement data. Our school report card does not tell the entire story of our school, and we feel the entire story paints a very different picture.
Part I: Where We Started (2006-2007)
The first year at the Academy was a rough one. The school got off to a poor start, and did a good job recovering to the level shown. In 2006-2007, the Academy was the one of the lowest performing high schools in North Carolina.
Part II: Growth Begins (2007-2008)


Part III: The Growth Continues (2008-2009)
The current year has brought continued growth among our students! Attendance gains have been the best in GCS, and EOC scores are above 50% for the first time. We are excited about this and look forward to an amazing spring. A big part of our growth has been offering students activities and extra help and building those options into the school day. Below is a graph that compares the first three years of the Academy.
We are proud of this growth and look to continue in the 2009-2010 school year and beyond!
Part IV: The Future of the Academy
The Academy is also offering new programs and classes to further expand its offerings for students. In Fall 2009, we will offer a complete Medical IT pathway, with four classes instead of the current two. The Academy will teach programming, which until now has only been offered at Weaver Academy in Greensboro. We look for test scores to be above 75% in 2009-2010.
