North Carolina grades every public school A to F. The score is based 80% on student achievement and 20% on academic growth, the state’s 2025-26 annual testing report says.

The state does not give Metro a letter grade: its 2025-26 and 2024-25 grade files list the school under the alternative accountability option (ALT). In 2025-26, 55.2% of its state tests were at grade level or above, according to the state’s accountability data.

The full report card, with attendance, teacher and course data, is on the state’s NC School Report Cards site. On Oct. 11 it still showed the 2024-25 edition.
