Piedmont Community Charter School

Piedmont Scores Continue Upward Trend

In the 2018-19 school year, Piedmont earned a score of 79, B, for their North Carolina School Performance Report Card and exceeded growth for the second year in a row. Piedmont Community Charter School has had a ten point increase on their school report card score over the last three years. Piedmont’s overall K-12 Grade Level Proficiency (GLP) was 17.7 points higher than Gaston County School’s overall Grade Level Proficiency.

Head of School, Jennifer Purdee, shares, “Each year, we are focused on our mission to be a superior college preparatory school. It is exciting that our dedicated staff and diligent students continue to produce results worth celebrating.”

Like all charter schools, Piedmont operates on a lottery system serving a diverse student body reflective of the county. As an open enrollment school, Piedmont has no academic barriers to admission. Compared to Gaston County Schools with open-enrollment, Piedmont has Grade Level Proficiency and End of Course scores that rank in the top three schools for the following:
4th grade reading, 4th grade math,
6th grade reading, 6th grade math,
7th grade reading, 7th grade math,
8th grade reading, 8th grade math, 8th grade science,
Math 1,
Math 3, and
Biology.
Last year, Piedmont was recognized for a 96% success rate in the Career and College Promise (CCP) program at Gaston College. Also, Piedmont had the highest CCP participation rate in Gaston County, with about 50% of their juniors and seniors dually enrolled at Gaston College.

Focused on the three core values of academics, character and community, Piedmont currently serves over 1350 students on two campuses with students 3rd grade through 12th grade, assigned their own laptop with 24/7 access throughout the school year. The new high school campus will hold 600 students and open in August 2020. Piedmont will expand enrollment in every grade during their upcoming lottery application period beginning January 2nd, 2020. This increases the chances for enrollment and is big news for families that have previously applied through the lottery and not received a spot. The deadline to apply for the lottery will be March 25th, 2020 at 3 pm. Piedmont’s application lottery will be Tuesday, April 7th, 2020. Check our website at www.pccharter.org for information sessions happening in early 2020.
