Niche Grade
Sharon Elementary is a highly rated public school serving more than 700 students in grades K-5 with a student-teacher ratio of 16 to 1. According to state test scores, 87% of the school's students are at least proficient in math and 92% in reading. Students in first through fifth grades have just one teacher per classroom who teaches all subjects to their class. This makes it possible for teachers to focus on each topic in depth. For example, a fifth grade teacher covers math, science, and social studies to a group of 20 students every day for 40 minutes for each subject for the entire academic year. Sharon Elementary has a long history of educating some of the most notable figures in society. Evangelist Billy Graham and former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot are just two of the school's successful alumni.

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.

We love Sharon school. Been a Sharon parent for 6 years now and some years were better than others but overall the school and staff are great. You can tell that everyone works hard to do their job at this school including the custodial staff.
