PERFORMANCE LEARNING CENTER

Performance Learning Center is a Title I public high school that is part of the Cabarrus County Schools school district, located in Concord, NC with about 109 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 7 teachers, Performance Learning Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. 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 Performance Learning Center (PLC) in Concord, North Carolina, is a specialized, non-traditional high school operating under the Cabarrus County School system. Designed to serve students who may struggle in a conventional classroom environment, the school focuses on a personalized, self-paced academic model. By utilizing a blend of computer-based curriculum and direct teacher support, the PLC aims to provide an alternative pathway for students to earn their high school diplomas, helping them overcome barriers to graduation such as credit recovery needs or a desire for a more flexible, focused learning environment.

The school emphasizes a small, supportive community atmosphere that prioritizes student engagement and individual accountability. Because of its smaller scale and unique structure, the PLC offers a more intimate setting where students can work closely with instructors to address their specific educational goals. Through this tailored approach, the Performance Learning Center functions as a vital resource within the district, dedicated to re-engaging students who have become disengaged from traditional schooling and ensuring they have the tools necessary to succeed both academically and in their post-secondary futures.
