Students are unique
Wake County provides a substantial supplement to WCPSS to ensure we have excellent schools. Schools, working with parents, need the resources and flexibility to offer a more challenging, interesting and relevant curriculum:
- On-line, year-round courses for advanced, accelerated learning.
- In-person, summertime, low teacher-pupil ratios for struggling students.
- Many, many, many more electives – Robotics, Shop, Horticulture, Cooking, Computers, Theater, Oil Painting, Orchestra, Baseball, Finance, Chinese . . .
- Trade school pathways from middle school to professional licensure.
- STEM pathways from middle school to professional licensure.
- Prioritization of Wake County citizens for valuable school resources.
