Cary Schools or Chapel Hill Schools?
I received an email from a mother asking Cary Schools or Chapel Hill schools? She wanted to ask my opinion about Cary Schools because her son is convinced that Chapel Hill Schools are the far superior. Therefore her daughter and son-in law who are moving from NJ should not consider Cary only Chapel Hill.
I told her of my family’s experience attending the Cary's Davis Drive Elementary, Davis Drive Middle and Green Hope High schools. We had never been redistricted and could walk to school. Top-rated, neighborhood schools in Wake County. I also told her of the educational options Wake County offers; traditional or year-round calendars,and magnet schools.
Her son stood by his opinion.
I decide to look at the stats. I use www.ncreportcard.org.
Looking at the two Chapel Hill High Schools they are both rated as “Schools of Progress” – 60-80 % of students at or above grade level
Cary High Schools:
Green Hope High is a “School of Excellence” – 90%+ student at or above grade level
Panther Creek High is a “School of Distinction” – 80-90% of student at or above grade level
(This is Panther Creeks will graduate their first senior class spring of 2010)
Cary High is a “School of Distinction” – 80-90% of student at or above grade level.
I believe the best way to evaluate a school system is to look at the High Schools.
If you have a quality High School it stands to reason that the Elementary and
Middle Schools are of quality too.
Cary Schools are quality school, just look at the stats!
