Queens Grant Community School

A public charter school option sometimes considered by South End families willing to commute.

Type: charter
Grades: K–12
Location: Mint Hill, a drive from South End

Queens Grant is a public charter school located in Mint Hill, east of Charlotte proper. As a charter, it's tuition-free but operates outside CMS's traditional assignment boundaries, meaning enrollment runs through an application and lottery process rather than home address.

Its distance from South End means it's realistically an option only for families prepared for a longer daily commute; it's included here as one of the charter options families researching South End sometimes weigh against traditional CMS assignment.
