Welcome to Achieve Together!

- In 2006-07, the CMS drop-out rate reached a six-year high (6.4% or a count of 2,355 according to the NCDPI, NC Drop Out Report 06-07).
- Achievement Zone schools consistently perform below the district average on EOCs

We must work together – now – as a community to reverse this trend.
