Wake Forest Schools’ Achievements:


North Carolina and Wake County in particular, take education very seriously. Which is a reason Wake Forest real estate is in such demand. In fact, the students at Wake County schools have consistently scored higher than the state average on the writing tests. These scores have continued to improve every year, which is an incredible accomplishment for both students and teachers alike.

The graduation rate for Wake Forest community students is higher than other areas of North Carolina. The graduation rate was 79.3% in 2007, a dramatic ten points higher than the state average. Even with such an outstanding graduation rate, the Wake County Board of Education is pushing its district to reach for a 90% graduation rate by 2013 and 95% by 2015.

Few districts can surpass the dedication of the Wake County Public Schools System to providing the best education possible for all of its students from Wake Forest, Raleigh, and other communities.  For more information on Wake County Public Schools, check out their website at http://www.wcpss.net/.

With such stellar schools, its no wonder that Wake Forest real estate is attracting families from across the United States.
