Modify School Performance Grades

Introduced·3/24/25

North Carolina H488 modifies school performance grading to include separate achievement and growth grades.

North Carolina H488 modifies the method of calculating school performance grades by introducing separate grades for school achievement and school growth. The State Board of Education will now calculate scores for both achievement and growth, with achievement accounting for 80% and growth for 20% of the overall score. These scores will determine letter grades ranging from A to F. The bill also mandates that schools with performance grades of D or F must notify parents and guardians.
