GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience with Charlotte Lab School has been very nice. There's a lot of freedom compared to other schools, and the teachers are really nice. I like how we're free to express ourselves, and how teachers are there for us. This school is very lenient. The only thing i'd change is how long the school day is. I feel like certain things like flex and advisory isn't really that necessary (even though I do enjoy it).

Our children attended Lab for elementary school and it was a wonderful experience! We loved the way the school was able to encourage them to learn and grow. They thrived due to the friendships made and the way learning was promoted and encouraged at Lab.

They do not honor IEPs (in fact, they will change them under your nose). They curtail any accountability for things that happen. They sweep issues and concerns under the rug. Sexual harassment, bullying, and student safety problems in general are constant issues.
