North Carolina School of Distinction
A North Carolina public school earns the designation of North Carolina School of Distinction whenever 80% or more of its students are judged to be at or above grade level in grades 3-8. Students are judged to be at or above grade level when they score Level III or Level IV on the Mathematics, Reading and Writing tests administered at the end of the year in May. Students scoring at Level III are judged to be on grade level and students scoring at Level IV are above grade level. North Carolina School of Excellence
