Proven Academic Excellence at Alpha Academy
At Alpha Academy, academic excellence isn’t a slogan — it’s a measurable, year-over-year commitment to helping every student grow. As a tuition-free public charter school in Fayetteville, North Carolina, serving families throughout Cumberland County, we take pride in delivering strong results on state assessments and preparing our K–12 learners for success well beyond the classroom.
A B-Rated School of Distinction
Alpha Academy has earned a “B” School Performance Grade on the North Carolina School Report Card, recognizing us as a School of Distinction. This honor reflects both the achievement of our students and the effectiveness of our instruction. With a strong School Performance Score and a Growth Met designation, Alpha Academy consistently demonstrates that our students are learning, progressing, and reaching new academic milestones each and every year.
Outperforming the State Average
When it comes to proficiency on North Carolina’s end-of-grade (EOG) and end-of-course (EOC) assessments, Alpha Academy students consistently score above statewide averages in the core subjects that matter most:
| Subject | Alpha Academy | NC State Average |
|---|---|---|
| Math proficiency | 59% | 51% |
| Reading proficiency | 61% | 50% |
The results are especially striking in our early grades. In the most recent school year, 85% of Alpha Academy third-graders were proficient in mathematics — more than 20 points above the state average. These numbers reflect a schoolwide culture of high expectations and the daily work of teachers who refuse to let any child fall behind.
Consistent, Measurable Student Growth
Growth is the truest measure of a great school, because it captures how much students learn from where they start. Alpha Academy has a multi-year track record of meeting — and at times exceeding — the growth expectations set by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. Our students don’t just perform well on a single test; they build momentum year after year, gaining the skills and confidence they need for each new grade level and for life beyond graduation.
Recognized Among North Carolina’s Stronger Schools
Independent education analysts consistently rank Alpha Academy among the top-performing public schools in the state. Based on combined math and reading proficiency, Alpha Academy places in the top 30% of all North Carolina schools, with a four-star rating and middle-grade performance that outpaces roughly three-quarters of comparable schools statewide. For families comparing charter and public school options in Fayetteville, these rankings offer independent confirmation of what our results already show.
Excellence Across a Diverse Community
Alpha Academy is proud to be one of the most diverse schools in North Carolina, and our success is shared across every group we serve. Even as a majority of our students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, our scholars achieve at levels that rival — and often exceed — those of much more affluent schools. Minority students at Alpha Academy score, on average, 15% higher than their peers in surrounding counties. We believe that every child, regardless of background, deserves a rigorous and supportive education, and our data proves that belief in action.
A Well-Rounded Education for the Whole Student
Proven academic excellence at Alpha Academy means more than strong test scores — it means developing confident, capable, well-rounded students. Through a balanced curriculum spanning mathematics, English language arts, science, social studies, art, physical education, and Spanish, we nurture curiosity, character, and a lifelong love of learning. Our college-prep and career-ready programming keeps students focused on what comes next, while enrichment opportunities like our summer learning programs help every child stay on track and minimize the “summer slide.”
