The Nor/A Carolina Public Schools Statistical Profile is a collec-
tion of statistical information about North Carolina's elementary and
secondary schools. This is the twenty-fourth edition of the publication.
It was initiated in 1975.
The purpose of this book is to provide general statistical data to the
public, professional educators, and the General Assembly. This profile
includes information on public school pupils, personnel, and finances.
Tables with statewide data are presented in Part I. Part II contains data
on pupil accounting, high school graduate intentions, public school
personnel, and current expense expenditures for each local school
system.
Part III is a new section that has been added this year to include
Charter Schools. Thirty-four Charter Schools began operating in North
Carolina in the 1997-98 school year in compliance with legislation
passed by the General Assembly in 1996.
This publication would not be possible without the full support
and dedicated efforts of public school administrators, principals, and
teachers. Their efforts in making this information available are grate-
fully acknowledged.
