Capped Schools
Cary High Schools vs Chapel Hill High Schools
2019-2020 New schools and the reassignment plan
Apex Friendship Middle School
This means that Cary doesn’t have its own school system, it’s part of the much larger Raleigh/Wake County School System.
Wake County is the 15th largest school district in the US. The schools located in Cary are rated very highly because the people living in the town are well educated and involved with the schools. The good schools are drawing people to Cary from all over the world and big new homes are being built on former pastures and woodland.
Overcrowded and capping
Overcrowding and capped schools
Even though new schools are constantly being built there is still over crowding and some of the schools in the most popular neighborhood areas have enrollment caps. New families moving in to these neighborhoods will be assigned to overflow schools. The overflow schools are good too, it’s just that some of the children in a neighborhood will go to a different school and there may be a longer bus ride.
Cary address, Apex school
When you think of Cary schools it may be a good idea to consider Apex, Morrisville and Holly Springs too because they share the same Wake County school district and you could have a Morrisville address and go to a school in Cary or be in Cary and go to a school with an Apex address.
Some neighborhoods in Holly Springs go to Apex Friendship High. The new Green Level High will serve West Cary and parts of Apex.
NC School Report Cards
North Carolina ranks it schools on lots of different criteria like performance in different subject areas, teacher experience, graduation rates and college course completion, standardized test score performance and many others factors. The NC Report Cards site gives each school a letter grade and numerical score based on 80% performance and 20% on academic growth. You can select and compare schools on this site.
I like the site because it is based on information directly from North Carolina Public Schools and it is easy to directly compare schools and also see how the schools compare based on what is important to you. If it’s biology, math, arts, test scores
I have a page that gets into more detail about capped schools.
Call me if you want to talk about it. It’s confusing! 919-274-4365
Walk Zones
If a home is located within 1.
5 miles of a school there is no bus transportation unless there is only an unsafe route for walking. A walk zone is good because the students living in one may not be redistricted. The 1.5 miles for school assignment is determined by the routing on Google Maps. Some homes may be within 1.5 miles through a path in the woods but longer by the road. Only the road route was used to determine assignment and bus routing. This was a big issue a couple of years ago when there was another assignment plan in place and neighborhood schools were full. That’s something to check on if you are buying a home for a particular school. Wake County is always changing assignment plans.
What the Teachers Think about their School
The North Carolina Teacher Working Conditions Survey is given anonymously every 2 years by the state.
What are the best schools in Cary?
If you ask me the most sought after schools in Cary I would say it’s Green Hope Elementary, Davis Drive Middle School and Green Hope High.
The schools in Cary are all good but this is the “word on the street”. That’s because the test scores are high and the elementary and high schools have never been capped. Davis Drive Middle was capped for a couple of years but in 2019 is not.
The school rankings change from year to year and if the scores are off by a few points it isn’t really significant. So, a school may be an A one year and a B the next.

Year around and traditional schools, sometimes you have a choice.
It’s summer but Carpenter Elementary is a year around school
There are no guarantees with the schools. Every student is assigned to a base school based on their address. Here is a link to the address lookup tool. If your base school is capped you will have to go to an overflow school. Some middle and elementary schools in Cary are year around and some are traditional calendar. In a year around school vacation days are spread around in more equal segments throughout the year.
If you want a calendar option different from your base school you can apply for a different calendar option. There is a deadline to apply so if you move in the summer it will be too late to change. Whenever you apply there are no guarantees.
It’s confusing, I know!
I think the bottom line is that the schools in Cary are good, the attendance areas will change with new schools being built every year, and that is what happens when you live in a popular town with a great lifestyle. There really aren’t any bad areas of Cary and if you look on the map you will see the schools are quite close together so your kids will know other kids not just from school but sports and other activities after school.

How to choose a school backpack
If you are planning to buy a backpack for a child for the first time or to replace an old one, you can focus on the rules prescribed in TR TS 007/2011 “Technical Regulations of the Customs Union “On the safety of products intended for children and adolescents” (1) .
- The weight of the backpack itself for a first grader should not exceed 0.7 kg, for high school students – 1 kg. The backpack should have a label indicating its purpose, weight and age category.
- Each strap should be 3-4 cm wide at the shoulder and 2 cm below it, 0.6-0.7 m long and adjustable. One of them should have a connector to facilitate putting on and taking off the backpack. They must be attached to the bottom. The lining of the shoulder straps and back should be made of ventilated fabric.
- A correct school backpack should retain its shape, fit snugly to the back, an orthopedic back is recommended for first graders.
- The inner space of the backpack should be divided into two compartments: a large one for books and notebooks, a smaller one for stationery.
- Reflective elements required for road safety.
- The material from which the backpack is made must be durable, have a water-repellent coating, and be easy to clean from dirt.
Be careful when choosing a school backpack, bad posture is fraught with curvature of the spine, and this condition is difficult to correct and can bring a lot of inconvenience in adult life.
Popular questions and answers
Komsomolskaya Pravda was told about the rules for choosing a school backpack by Alexey Kozlovsky , Head of the Lifestyle category at Avito.
School backpack or knapsack: what to choose?
Before choosing a backpack or satchel for a child, it is worth understanding what characteristics they differ in. The backpack is a shoulder bag, does not have a rigid frame and does not hold its shape well. The backpack is more rigid, its solid walls retain their shape, so the weight of its contents is distributed evenly.
Which backpack should I choose for a first grader?
For a first-grader, a satchel is best, as with it the load on the spine will be minimal. But if the choice still fell on a backpack, then it is worth considering orthopedic models with a large number of hard elements and soft pads on the back, resembling the letter “X”.
In addition, the weight of the product should not exceed 1.5 kg, in accordance with sanitary standards.
The size of the product itself depends on the height of the child. The height of the back of a backpack for a child in grades 1-2 is on average 34-38 cm. It is important that the upper part of the backpack does not rest against the back of the head, and the lower edge runs at waist level. Too big backpacks are bad for the student’s back.
Shoulder straps must be adjustable. Their optimal width is 5-8 cm, and the thickness of the soft insert should be about 1 cm. Such straps should not put pressure on the shoulders and will help to properly fix the backpack on the back.
Particular attention should be paid to reflective inserts, they should be on any children’s backpack. These elements are perfectly visible in the headlights and reduce the risk of getting hit by the wheels.
Which backpack is suitable for middle and high school students?
For middle and high school students, it is better to choose a backpack with a back height of 40 to 50 cm.
The average empty weight of the product should not exceed 2.5 kg for grades 5-6, 3.5 kg for grades 7-8 and 4 kg for 9-11 class. Despite the strengthened spine and bones and the already formed posture, it is better to purchase a model with an anatomical back to minimize the negative impact.
What is the best material for school backpacks?
When choosing a material, you should focus on strength, lightness and water resistance. Most often, backpacks are made from synthetic materials, such as polyester. This material is additionally treated with a polyurethane coating for moisture resistance, so that the notebooks and books lying in the backpack are not afraid of rain.
Models made of nylon are durable and resistant to cold, and they practically do not fade in the sun. They are easy to clean with a sponge and soap and dry.
For little first graders, a backpack made from EVA, an environmentally friendly foamed rubber material, is perfect. The EVA material is very light, but elastic and resilient, thanks to which the orthopedic functions of the product are preserved.
Due to the relief structure of the foamed rubber, normal air exchange is ensured, so the child’s back does not sweat in the heat.
