Topic: Confused about schools

Author Message << Prev Topic | Next Topic >> mfritz11 Newbie Joined: January 26 2010 Online Status: Offline Posts: 2 Posted: January 26 2010 at 2:10pm | IP Logged Hello, My family and I are looking to relocate to the area in July 2010. I have daughter that will be going into 8th grade and another one that will be going into 5th. I have been reading a lot about the year round schools, magnet, and traditional. I would definitely prefer a traditional calendar year, is there a way to "choose" this option? I love everything about Wake County, but I am starting to get "scared" away after reading about the schools and the constant redistricting. Is this all true?

You can always pick the traditional option no matter where you live.  Everybody has two schools they pick from in their neighborhood. One school is traditional and  the other school is year round.  The choice is yours.   We tried both options and now have settled on the traditional school in our area: but we did the choosing. They have changed to this ruling in the last year or so.

In general are the schools good in Wake County, from a parent's prospective?
