WCPSS: Wake County Public School System information:
Search HERE for individual school's student aggregate performance.
Please remember it is important how EACH child learns and grows.
If a school or system does not score well, it does not mean the school is not "good."
Best suggestion is to go tour the school and talk to the Principal to see if it is a "fit" for your child/ren.
WCPSS Key data and charts (< remember to scroll down that link for lots of info!)
Children are usually assigned to a base school by residence ADDRESS LOOK-UP tool for your base school assignment which is guaranteed. There are traditional and year-round calendar options. Magnets schools, based on address, are available by application. The Magnet schools attract students with enrichment or specialty programs.
When you go to that ADDRESS LOOK-UP, you might see that a school is 'capped" or no longer allowing new students to register due to over crowding. Also, when you look at the Options tabs, you might see a message "Calendar options are granted based on space availability and are not guaranteed" that those schools may be full (not capped by Board Policy but still not allowing transfers in.). So, go to School Status and see if the school is full to estimate your chances of getting request. If school is not on that list, then there's probably a good chance of getting in. From there it gets fuzzy. I’ve recommended to clients to go see and talk to the school they desire to get a feel. BUT I’ve been told by a good source to not talk to the Data Manager person at each school and talk to central office School Assignment (919) 431-7333. Be patient getting a phone call back and if you’re not IN the house yet holding the title, things may change. Good Luck!
