A Message from Governor Mike Easley... " I am pleased to provide you with the North Carolina School Report Card for the 2005-06 school year. We continue to make important progress in education in North Carolina. Our students are competitive performers on national exams in reading and math and on the SAT. North Carolina remains a national leader in sending our graduates on to colleges and universities. To continue this progress, we must stay focused on ensuring that all students are well prepared for the demands of college and skilled work in the 21st Century. This report card includes important information about student performance, class size, school safety and teacher quality in your child's school.
It is my goal to provide you with a Report Card that keeps you well informed, empowered and involved in your child's school. Becoming involved in your child's school is one way to guarantee success in the classroom. Working together, we can create superior schools for all children."
