| AP scoring 3+Share of AP exams scoring 3 or higher, most recent reported year. Charlotte Latin, Davidson Day & Hickory Grove Christian do not publish a per-exam pass rate. | Scope noteAbout 92% of AP exams scored 3 or higher (the school reports 92.39%). A score of 3+ is the level most colleges treat as a passing result. | Scope noteShare of seniors scoring 3 or higher on at least one AP exam, from the AP School Honor Roll (Platinum). The year is not stated on the school’s article; its metadata places it at the 2023 exams. | Scope note94% of 1,064 AP exams scored 3 or above in 2024-25 (23 subjects, 345 students); 72% scored 4 or 5. AP exams are mandatory in every AP course at CCHS, so this is a whole-cohort rate and cannot be flattered by weaker candidates skipping the exam. | Scope note89% of AP exams scored 3 or higher in 2024 (265 of 298). A score of 3+ is the level most colleges treat as a passing result. | Scope note93% of AP exams scored 3 or higher overall in 2025. A score of 3+ is the level most colleges treat as a passing result. | N/A | Scope note96% of AP exams scored 3 or higher in 2026 (179 students took 401 exams; every AP student must sit the exam). A score of 3+ is the level most colleges treat as a passing result. | N/A | 95% | N/A | Scope note94% of AP exams scored 3 or higher in May 2025. A score of 3+ is the level most colleges treat as a passing result. |
| Ivy LeagueOf the 8 Ivy League universities, how many appear on the school’s published acceptance list. Derived from that list against the 2026 U.S. News tables — not a school-reported figure. | Scope note3 of the 8 Ivy League universities appear on Cannon’s published acceptance list, matched against the 2026 U.S. News tables — not a figure the school reports itself. | Scope noteOne of the eight Ivy League universities (Princeton) appears on the school’s cumulative acceptance list. | Scope note6 of the 8 Ivy League universities appear on CCHS's MATRICULATION list for the Classes of 2023-2025 — where graduates actually enrolled, not where they were admitted. Brown and Columbia are absent. | Scope note2 of the 8 Ivy League universities appear on Charlotte Christian’s published acceptance list, matched against the 2026 U.S. News tables — not a figure the school reports itself. | Scope note7 of the 8 Ivy League universities appear on Charlotte Country Day’s published acceptance list, matched against the 2026 U.S. News tables — not a figure the school reports itself. | Scope note5 of the 8 Ivy League universities appear on Charlotte Latin’s published acceptance list, matched against the 2026 U.S. News tables — not a figure the school reports itself. | Scope note2 of the 8 Ivy League universities appear on Covenant Day’s published 2023–2026 acceptance list, matched against the 2026 U.S. News tables — not a figure the school reports itself. | Scope note3 of the 8 Ivy League universities appear on Davidson Day’s published acceptance list, matched against the 2026 U.S. News tables — not a figure the school reports itself. | Scope noteYale and Dartmouth, scored across the whole 2019–2025 acceptance window rather than a single class. The denominator is the eight Ivy League institutions. | Scope noteNone of the 8 Ivy League universities appears on Hickory Grove Christian’s published 2023 + 2025 acceptance lists, matched against the 2026 U.S. News tables — not a figure the school reports itself. | Scope note8 of the 8 Ivy League universities appear on Providence Day’s published acceptance list, matched against the 2026 U.S. News tables — not a figure the school reports itself. |

| Seniors per counselorApproximate seniors per dedicated college counselor at peak application season, from each school’s note. | Scope noteAbout 28 seniors per dedicated college counselor at peak application season — 111 seniors across 4 counselors. A lower ratio means more counselor time per student. | N/A | Official listComputed, not published: 324 seniors in the Class of 2026 divided by the six counselors named on the school profile, including the Director of Counseling Services. Across all four grades (~1,171 students) it is roughly 195:1. | Scope noteAn effective caseload of about 47 seniors per college counselor at peak application season. A lower ratio means more counselor time per student. | Scope noteAbout 34–35 seniors per college counselor at peak application season. A lower ratio means more counselor time per student. | Scope noteAbout 36–37 seniors per college counselor at peak application season. A lower ratio means more counselor time per student. | Scope note85 seniors against one dedicated Guidance & College Counseling Director — the heaviest caseload here, cushioned by a second guidance counselor and a guidance assistant who carry the non-college load. A lower ratio means more counselor time per student. | Scope noteAbout 23–24 seniors per college counselor at peak application season, in a senior class of roughly 47 — the lightest caseload here. A lower ratio means more counselor time per student. | Scope noteCOMPUTED, not published — the school states neither a caseload nor a ratio. 35 seniors in the Class of 2026 over two college-counseling staff (Peter Gangemi, Director; Kristy Smith, Assistant) gives ~18:1; counted against the Director alone it would be 35:1. | N/A | Scope noteAbout 44–45 seniors per college counselor at peak application season, under a quarter-class model. A lower ratio means more counselor time per student. |
