What this means: About 67% of students here test proficient in math and reading, compared with the roughly 72% typical for North Carolina schools with a similar share of low-income students. BeatsExpectations measures results against demographically similar schools rather than by raw scores, and this school falls within the typical range, neither among North Carolina's top nor bottom 10%.
BeatsExpectations runs a per-state regression of proficiency on free/reduced-lunch share, then scores each school by residual. How this is calculated →

From the East Chapel Hill High community.How to read these scores
What is NC EOG / EOC?
North Carolina public-school students in grades 3 through 8 take End-of-Grade (EOG) tests in Reading and Math, plus Science at grades 5 and 8. High school students take End-of-Course (EOC) exams in English II, NC Math 1, and Biology required for graduation.
What does "% at Grade Level Proficient (Level 3+)" mean?
It is the percentage of students at the school who scored at Level 3, 4, or 5 on North Carolina's 5-level scale. Level 3 ("Grade Level Proficient") and above means the student is performing at or beyond grade level. North Carolina also reports a separate "College & Career Ready" rate (Level 4+), which is a higher bar. A higher number is better.
What does 87.5% mean for Reading at East Chapel Hill High?
It means about 87.5 percent of students tested at East Chapel Hill High performed at grade level or above on the NC EOG / EOC Reading test in 2024-25. The statewide average for North Carolina that year was 50.9%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in North Carolina, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI), End-of-Grade (EOG) tests for grades 3-8 and End-of-Course (EOC) tests for high school (English II, NC Math 1, Biology). School-level results from the annual Testing Report. Headline metric is "Grade Level Proficient" (Level 3 or above on NC's 5-level scale).
How often is it updated?
NC EOG / EOC is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
