COMMONWEALTH HIGH SCHOOL

Commonwealth High is a public charter high school that is part of the Commonwealth High School school district, located in Charlotte, NC with about 257 students offering grade levels from 9th Grade to 12th Grade. With about 8 teachers, Commonwealth High has a student/teacher ratio of about 32:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Based on the information provided by their official website, **Commonwealth High** is a private, non-traditional educational institution located in the Plaza Midwood area of Charlotte, North Carolina. The school distinguishes itself through a highly individualized approach to learning, focusing on students who may benefit from a more flexible, self-paced, or supportive environment than what is typically found in a traditional large-scale high school setting.

The academic program at Commonwealth High is centered on a mastery-based curriculum, allowing students to progress through coursework as they demonstrate competency rather than adhering to a rigid semester schedule. This structure is designed to accommodate diverse learning styles and personal timelines, making it a frequent choice for students seeking credit recovery, accelerated graduation paths, or a personalized environment that prioritizes one-on-one attention from faculty.
