CABARRUS CO OPPORTUNITY SCHOOL

Cabarrus Co Opportunity School is a Title I public high school that is part of the Cabarrus County Schools school district, located in Concord, NC with about 60 students offering grade levels from 6th Grade to 12th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, Cabarrus Co Opportunity School has a student/teacher ratio of about 5:1. 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.

The Cabarrus County Opportunity School, located in Concord, North Carolina, serves as an alternative educational setting within the Cabarrus County School District. Designed for students who may struggle in a traditional high school environment, the school focuses on providing a personalized approach to learning that helps students get back on track toward graduation. By offering a smaller, more supportive atmosphere, the institution aims to address the individual academic and behavioral needs of its student body, fostering an environment where those at risk of dropping out can find success.

The curriculum and programming at the Opportunity School are structured to balance academic rigor with flexibility. The school provides various pathways for students to earn credit, often utilizing accelerated learning formats or credit-recovery programs to ensure that students can meet state requirements. Beyond academics, the school emphasizes character development and goal setting, aiming to equip students with the skills necessary to transition back to a traditional school setting or to move forward into post-secondary education and the workforce.
