Assigning students to their closest school
Click on the titles below to view data on individual schools. All charts and maps assume students are assigned to their closest schools based on current node data. Distances are measured based on miles driven. The Wake County school board does not intend to assign students based on this model. It is offered as a way to provide insight into various assignment plans that are likely to be discussed in the coming months.
Data source: Wake County Public School System.
