About Classroom Central
Classroom Central fosters equity in education by providing teachers and students with the free resources they need to succeed. We serve teachers and students in nearly 200 schools across six school districts in the Charlotte Region.
Your support is more crucial this year to help students catch up. NC state test results show proficiency rates in english, math, and science plummeted in nearly every grade level throughout the pandemic, as fewer than half of K-12 students (only 45.4%) passed NC state exams. But for economically disadvantaged students, the pass rates dropped even further, to only 28.8% of NC students in need. 1 in every 2 local students live in poverty and can’t afford the basic supplies they need to catch up to their peers, let alone learn new lessons.
Donate to our virtual supply drive to help Classroom Central prepare 127,000 local students for back to school.
