The current school system is the result of the merger in 1976 of the previous (historically preceded premises in 1976. ) the Wake County school system and the former (historically mostly minority) Raleigh City Schools. The merger was originally proposed by business leaders in the early 1970’s due to problems that continued “white flight” of schools in the inner city of Raleigh will negatively affect the economy of the county as a whole. Political and educational leaders also hoped that a merger of the two systems would make it easier for the court to decide on desegregation. The proposal initially proved unpopular with the residents, however they rejected it by a 3-1 margin in a non-binding referendum in 1973. School and business leaders instead urged the North Carolina General Assembly to force a merger. ^[3]

Since then, the area has become distinguished by the integration efforts. Schools are integrated into the system based on income levels reported by families when applying for state-subsidized school lunches, with the goal of maximizing 40% of low-income students in any school. Consequently, thousands of students from the suburbs bus to magnet schools in poorer areas as well as low-income students in suburban schools to maintain this income balance. Magnet schools are characterized as public schools specializing in a particular area, such as science or the arts, with the aim of encouraging desegregation by attracting students from multiple districts and districts to the same school. ^[4] Professor Gerald Grant of Syracuse University used Wake County as a metaphor for hope in his 2009 book. Hope and Despair in an American City: Why Raleigh Doesn’t Have Bad Schools . ^[5] Grant says, “The study is very clear that having the right mix of children socioeconomically, like in Wake County, has huge benefits for poor kids without hurting rich kids.” ^[5] According to US News & World Report In 2005, 63.8% of low-income students in Wake County passed state high school GCSEs, significantly higher than neighboring counties that do not have similar inclusion policies. ^[6]

District residents share their support for the system integration program, due in part to some means of achieving this integration, such as long bus rides for many students and the lack of schools in the neighborhood. Despite improved integration, test scores among poorer students continue to lag: in the 2007-2008 school year, only 18% of the district’s schools met adequate annual performance targets. No child left behind, ^[7] only 71% passed the state standardized tests. ^[8] Due to a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling restricting the use of race in student placement, Wake has been cited as a model for how other school systems can still support diversity in enrollment. ^[9]

In an effort to maintain economic diversity and keep pace with rapid student growth, Wake regularly transfers thousands of students to different schools. ^[10] Many parents object to this annual shuffle. For example, for the 2008-09 school year, the district said it would redistribute approximately 6,464 students to influence a new system-wide policy designed to help schools in the same geographic area achieve similar economic demographics. This wave of change will require the transfer of many low-income students to schools with more higher-income students. ^[11] In February 2009year, the school board approved a plan to transfer 24,654 students to different schools over the next three years). ^[12] The newly elected board won a 5-4 Republican majority and successfully reversed the integration policy that had been in place in Wake County for years. ^[13]

There are currently 171 public schools in the system, including 104 elementary (K-5), 33 middle (6-8), 26 middle (9-12) and 4 special/elective schools. With a large number of new schools opening each year, the school board names the new schools by geography (such as Holly Ridge) or by the road they are located on (such as Athens Drive and Leesville Road) or by the geographic region they are located in. serve (for example, Holly Springs High, Apex High and Garner High). However, the board of directors has recently attempted to avoid giving schools the names of nearby divisions, as such names may lead some residents to believe that the school is a “borough school”. Unlike in earlier times, schools no longer bear people’s names, which has been controversial in the past. However, schools named before the current naming policy retain their existing non-geographic names. ^[14]

Year-Round Calendar

In 2006 and 2007, the Wake County Public School System made headlines for converting 19 elementary schools and three high schools to compulsory schools. year-round calendar. It has included more than a third of elementary schools in the year-round calendar since July 2007. The decision was unpopular with some families, who argued that switching to the calendar should be voluntary. ^[15] The transition to a year-round calendar in many schools has resulted in some unforeseen needs. For example, PTA chapters at some of the affected schools have considered purchasing sun visors for playgrounds to provide shelter for students during the hot and humid summer months in North Carolina. ^[16]

A group of parents sued ^[17] to block the school system from converting schools. ^[18] In May 2007, Judge Howard Manning ruled that the school system may offer a year-round calendar, but that the informed consent of a student’s parents must be obtained before students can be placed in a year-round school. Approximately 9% of affected students did not consent and were referred to a school with a traditional calendar. ^[19] As a result, many year-round schools have vacancies and many traditional calendar schools remain overcrowded. ^[20] In May 2008, the North Carolina Court of Appeals overturned the lower court decision, holding that Wake did not need parental permission for students to attend year-round schools, but the State Supreme Court school agreed to hear the case and deferred the appeal decision until it renders resolution. ^[21] District leaders requested consent for the 2008-09 school year but did not plan to do so next year (2009-10). ^[22]

In October 2008, the school board voted to convert Baucom Elementary School in Apex and Green Hope Elementary School in Cary back to the traditional calendar, citing less than expected enrollment growth. Salem Elementary in Apex was also considered to switch to a traditional calendar, but the board voted against the move. Also at the same meeting, the board voted to convert Leesville Road Middle in North Raleigh to a year-round calendar. ^[23]

In May 2009, the State Supreme Court ruled that parental consent was not required to send students to year-round schools. ^[24] As a result, the school board has decided not to ask for consent anymore. ^[25] But the election of new school board members in October 2009, who said they oppose mandatory year-round schooling, forced the district to ask parents again for permission. ^[26]

Diversity controversy

In 2010, controversy arose over the Wake County School Board’s 5-4 decision in March to move from a decade-long socioeconomic diversification policy to a district school-centered system. ^[27] The previous plan, which required the District’s public schools to “have no more than 40 percent of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunches,” was shelved due to concerns about long student bus rides, but immediately drew comments from the public. and the NAACP that the result of the shift would be to “regroup” the schools. ^[27] This decision led to protests initiated by the head of state of the NAACP, with arrests in June and July. ^{[28] [29]} and the Wake County School Principal’s resignation. ^[30] The NAACP filed a civil rights complaint with the US Department of Education office, which opened an investigation into the matter. ^{[30] [31]} The complaint also prompted one citizen’s accreditation agency, Advanced, to evaluate schools to see if the decision would affect their accreditation status. ^{[32] [33]}

In January 2011, Washington Post aired a story about the controversy, ^[30] after which he and Associated Press received a letter from U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan in which he wrote that “it was disheartening to see the Wake County School Board in North Carolina take steps to reverse a long-standing policy of encouraging racial diversity in their schools” and “call on school boards across America to fully consider the implications before taking such action. ” ^{[31] [34]} The situation was also ridiculed. Colbert Report . ^[35] According to Washington Post , the decision was supported by prominent members of the Tea Party Movement. ^[30]

Some progress has been made in Wake County towards a compromise between supporters and critics of the old integration plan. Michael Alves, an educational consultant with 30 years of experience in developing and implementing student placement plans based on choice in US districts, has developed integration to achieve the plan for Wake County. Achievement integration assigns students to schools based on their previous performance on standardized state tests. Schools will have 70% of students score at or above the proficiency level, while the remaining 30% will have scores below the proficiency level. ^[13] The plan provides that once a child is placed in a school, he or she cannot be reassigned while in that school. The Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce, the district’s largest membership organization, proposed the plan to the Wake County School Board. ^[36]
