school performance grades

The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction has been exploring ways to change how school performance grades are calculated in the state for over two years. But with pending legislation and an upcoming change in leadership, the work to redesign the system is currently on pause.

The state House Select Committee on Education Reform approved a report on Monday addressing issues related to teacher compensation, school performance grades, and more. 

In this edition of Carolina Curious, listener Carol Penick asks about "F" schools in Winston-Salem/Forsyth County. WFDD’s Amy Diaz looks into how the district supports these schools, as well as how performance grades are calculated.
