In many subjects, the percentage of North Carolina public school students who were considered "on grade-level" based on 2024 state exams reached a three-year high. However, State Superintendent Catherine Truitt said the number of students who are still not on grade-level is "startling."

Gov. Roy Cooper attended the state board of education meeting Thursday to share his thoughts on public school funding, alongside Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson and State Superintendent Catherine Truitt.

In a surprise, incumbent State Superintendent Catherine Truitt was defeated by challenger Michele Morrow in the Republican primary. Morrow cast herself as more conservative than Truitt.

North Carolina Superintendent Catherine Truitt proposes a new system for grading public schools, saying the current A-to-F system provides little help for schools or families.

"Overall, it's incredibly good news for all students in our state," said State Superintendent Catherine Truitt.

We're not talking about students' report cards, but rather the A through F letter grades that their schools receive on an annual basis based on students' end-of-grade tests.

Catherine Truitt sat down with 瓜神app education reporter Liz Schlemmer for a wide-ranging conversation. Truitt is entering her third year as North Carolina's state superintendent of public instruction.

The gains announced on Thursday came during the first full school year of a new initiative contained within a 2021 state law designed to improve reading proficiency.
