CMS: Only 8.2% of high schoolers are ready for a job or college based on math scores: Thursday, Sept. 29.

Test scores show high school students in Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools are severely underperforming in math.

On Wednesday, CMS released data that show just 8.2% of high schoolers are testing at the highest levels of end-of-year exams in this area.

The goal for CMS is to have at least 26% of high schoolers scoring a level 4 or 5 on end-of-year math exams by 2024. When students reach this score, this means they’re ready for a job or to head to college.

CMS says teachers are no longer tamping down expectations due to the pandemic.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department released bodycam footage of an incident where a 14-year-old shot an officer in December 2021.

On Wednesday, CMPD officers released the footage from the shooting that occurred on Dec. 27, 2021, on Winged Elm Court.

The video shows CMPD officer Elliot Whitley chasing after a suspect before the teen turns around and shoots Whitley in the shoulder. Whitley fell to the ground after being hit and shot at the suspect, but did not strike the teen.

Whitley stays around the area before other officers come to offer aid. He was transported to a local hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.
