About SCORE Academy

SCORE Academy is a public alternative high school in Cary, North Carolina. It is a school that is part of the Wake County Public School System. The school is for students in grades 9–12 and is meant to help students who learn better in a structured, nontraditional way. SCORE Academy doesn't have a lot of students, so there are fewer students per teacher and more time for one-on-one learning. The school helps students meet the requirements for graduation at their own pace by focusing on personalized learning plans, credit recovery, and academic intervention. There are a lot of different kinds of students, and a lot of them need help with their behavior or schoolwork. Standardized proficiency data in Math and Reading are not consistently reported because many students pursue individual objectives instead of following standard assessment standards. SCORE Academy is a public school, which means that the state and local schools give it money. Whether or not a student takes the SAT or other tests depends on their plans for college and what they want to do after high school.
