The Raleigh Durham School System
Raleigh, North Carolina, is the capital of the state and the second largest city after Charlotte. It is one of the fastest growing cities in the country and has an estimated population of about 465,000. The schools in Raleigh are under the supervision of the Wake County Public School System. The district serves almost 160,000 students in 171 public schools and is one of the largest school districts in the country.
With so many students to serve, it is not unusual for many children to feel like just another cog in an academic wheel. If your child could use personalized instruction, Varsity Tutors can help. We help parents connect with professional Raleigh area tutors who can create custom learning plans for your child.
It’s important to take into consideration how well your child’s school has historically prepared students for nationally standardized exams. Below you can see how some of the biggest schools in Raleigh compare to state averages.
Raleigh Durham Test Scores
Students in Raleigh face the usual national exams such as the ACT and SAT as they approach the end of their academic careers. However, these students also must prepare for End of Grade (EOG) exams as they end grades three through eight. They also face a variety of EOC exams throughout their high school career in a wide range of subjects, including U.S. history, physics, biology, English, economics, and biology.
A personal tutor can be vital in helping your child achieve their academic testing potential. Your child’s tutor can work with them on core academic subjects. They can also help your child develop critical skills which can optimize their testing experience, including time management, reading comprehension, and organizational strategies.

One of the most common complaints from students is the pace at which teachers present new information. When a student is struggling with a new concept, a classroom teacher doesn’t necessarily have the time to slow down to review as intensively as the child may need. A personal tutor, however, does have the time to discuss concepts thoroughly and present the information in new and interesting ways that are more aligned with your child’s learning style.
Many of the largest high schools in Raleigh have class sizes near twenty students. It’s important to be aware of just how many students may be in your child’s classes. Below you will find the average number of students in a classroom for the ten largest high schools in the city.
