PERFORMANCE LEARNING CENTER

Performance Learning Center is a Title I public high school that is part of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools school district, located in Charlotte, NC with about 165 students offering grade levels from 9th 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 14 teachers, Performance Learning Center has a student/teacher ratio of about 11:1. 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 Charlotte, North Carolina, is a specialized high school operated by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) district. It is designed specifically for students who may struggle in a traditional classroom environment and are looking for a more personalized, flexible approach to their education.

The school is known for its emphasis on project-based learning and the use of technology to facilitate self-paced instruction. Students at the PLC benefit from smaller class sizes and a supportive atmosphere where teachers act as facilitators to help them earn the credits necessary for graduation.
