How Triad Math and Science Academy compares with North Carolina and U.S. medians
What stands out at Triad Math and Science Academy
Triad Math and Science Academy is a high-poverty, large charter combined-grade school in Greensboro, North Carolina, enrolling 1,374 students.
Class loads run heavy: 28.6:1 is larger than about 98% of North Carolina schools and 81% above the 15.8:1 state mean, so each teacher carries more students than is typical.
Economic need runs somewhat above the state's typical profile, with 96.2% of students eligible for free meals.
By headcount it is one of the larger campuses in North Carolina, bigger than 95% of state schools at 1,374 students.
Its Resource Investment Index trails 99% of the 2,698 North Carolina schools with a score on record, one of the lower results on this measure.
Among 60 similarly sized, similarly resourced-need North Carolina schools statewide, it ranks #58, in the lower tier once campus size and economic need are matched.
Its student body is led by African American (51%) and Hispanic or Latino (27%) (diversity index 65/100).
Counselor availability sits well past the ASCA benchmark, roughly 344 students sharing each counselor, though short of the most stretched campuses.
Chronic absenteeism is elevated: 36.0% of students missed 10% or more of school days (2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection).
Its district draws 15.8% of revenue from federal sources, an above-typical federal share that tends to track a higher-need student population.

Among Greensboro's public schools, it stands alongside Cornerstone Charter Academy-Cfa (1,343 students): Triad Math and Science Academy is larger than that campus by headcount and runs heavier classes (28.6:1 vs 17:1).
Triad Math and Science Academy is a single-school charter district, so Triad Math and Science Academy operates independently rather than alongside district-mates.
