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.

Evangelist Billy Graham and former Charlotte Mayor Richard Vinroot are just two of the school's successful alumni.

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.

The school needs an overhaul. The grounds are not well maintained. The buildings are tired and not well maintained. The classrooms are overcrowded and the carpool situation is a mess.

I live in the neighborhood and the school’s children arriving and departing always seem happy and when I’ve encountered them, they are very polite.The neighbors, myself included, wish they would turn down the PA system. It is jarringly loud and it gives out all the busboarding info and other meeting...

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.
