What Parents Should Know

At 75 students, Queen City Career Prep High School is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

Queen City Career Prep High School is a charter school: publicly funded, but run with more independence than a traditional district school. Many charters are built around a specific model or focus, so it's worth understanding this one's mission, how enrollment works, and how it differs from the district schools nearby.

96% of students at Queen City Career Prep High School were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
