Mooresville has its own city school system. The Mooresville Graded School District (MGSD) serves most of the town from its central office at 305 N. Main St., 704-658-2530. Other Mooresville addresses belong to Iredell-Statesville Schools, the county district. Which one you are in depends on your address, not your town, so check before you buy or rent.

Which schools serve Mooresville
MGSD students attend their zoned school based on their home address, the zoning page says. The district redrew its zones when Selma Burke Middle School opened in August 2023. It runs eight schools:
| Grades | MGSD schools |
|---|---|
| K-2 | Park View Elementary, South Elementary, Rocky River Elementary |
| 3-5 | Mooresville Intermediate, East Mooresville Intermediate |
| 6-8 | Mooresville Middle, Selma Burke Middle |
| 9-12 | Mooresville High |
The district also links an interactive MGSD boundary map on Iredell County’s property site. Iredell-Statesville schools in the Mooresville area include Lake Norman High, The Brawley School, Lakeshore Middle, Woodland Heights Middle and several elementary schools; its zone finder gives the school for any address.
How the schools scored in 2025-26
The state released 2025-26 results in September. The table shows the share of tests at grade level or above (all end-of-grade and end-of-course tests combined) and whether each school met its growth target, from the state’s disaggregated data and school assessment workbook. K-2 schools do not take state tests.
| School | Grades | At grade level | Growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| East Mooresville Intermediate | 3-5 | 68.8% | Met |
| Mooresville Intermediate | 3-5 | 65.9% | Met |
| Selma Burke Middle | 6-8 | 66.2% | Met |
| Mooresville Middle | 6-8 | 65.7% | Met |
| Mooresville High | 9-12 | 60.3% | Met |
| MGSD overall | 65.2% | ||
| Iredell-Statesville Schools | 58.3% | ||
| North Carolina | 59.2% |
For comparison, Iredell-Statesville’s Lake Norman High posted 68.1% and The Brawley School 88.6%. Each school’s A to F performance grade, attendance and teacher data are on the state’s NC School Report Cards site, which MGSD also links.
