In the student growth data recently released by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, two out of the three districts that fully reached their growth goals are local: Orange County Schools and Chatham County Schools.

The state, which published its annual accountability report on Wednesday, measures growth by using a statistical model for comparison between each student’s testing results and their predicted test scores based on past performance. Measuring the children’s success across all subjects, each school in a North Carolina public district is identified as having ‘Exceeded,’ ‘Met’ or ‘Not Met’ its growth targets laid out by the state to encourage student development.

For Orange County, all 13 of its schools finished in the ‘Exceeded’ or ‘Met’ categories — marking the first time the district has reached 100% of its school meeting student growth benchmarks. It comes after also seeing improvement in 2023-24 for most of its schools, moving all but one (Central Elementary School) to a “C” performance grade or higher and reaching five schools at a “B” grade for the first time since 2017.

In a release from the district about the growth data, Orange County Schools Superintendent Danielle Jones said she believes the achievement is a reflection of the community’s unity “in the belief that every single child can be successful” and putting that belief into practice.

Additionally, Chatham County Schools saw all of its school campuses meet or exceed growth in 2024-25 and broke a district record with 68% of the districts schools reaching the ‘Exceeded’ benchmark. Two of its schools — Siler City Elementary and Chatham Middle School — saw enough student growth to raise their performance grade a full letter and move them up from the state’s “low-performing school” designation. Chatham Early College saw its performance grade reach an “A” designation, having met or exceeded student growth for all nine academic years since it was founded. The Chatham County district also saw its graduation rate surpass 90%, which is better than the state average.
