Dear Parents and Guardians:

Federal guidelines require that schools provide you with updates about our school’s overall achievement through the North Carolina School Report Card (SRC). This school report card includes important information about each individual school as well as student performance, class sizes, attendance, school safety, student discipline, instructional resources, and teacher quality. (A complete version of the SRC is available online at https://ncreports.ondemand.sas.com/src/.)

Specifically, North Carolina evaluates its schools based on End-of-Grade (EOG) assessment proficiency and overall student growth (by measuring expected progress against actual progress). During the 2023-24 school year, Cuthbertson Middle School (CMS) received a school performance total of 86, which equates to a North Carolina report card grade of “A” with an ‘exceeded’ student growth designation. Proudly, we celebrate our achievements, as they reflect the efforts of all CMS stakeholders -- students, staff, and parents. 

Moving forward, our teachers & staff continue to be dedicated to providing a high-quality, standards-based education that is focused on student learning and data-driven results. Our teachers will be utilizing student data to inform daily instruction & work with small groups of students within their classrooms to both remediate and enrich instruction regularly. There's a sense of urgency to close any learning gaps; each instructional minute counts for our CAVS.

As always, we appreciate the opportunity to serve your child and your ongoing support of the work underway at our school.

Sincerely,

Catherine Perry

Principal
