The Chapel Hill-Carrboro school system has been consistently ranked among the top in the nation. The system is much sought after by home buyers with children for this reason. Sat scores for the two major high schools were tops in the state for 2003, and all 14 of the district's schools were awarded either "School of Distinction" or "School of Excellence" by
the state. Nearby Orange County schools are also highly praised, though not as highly ranked. Durham and Wake County schools also have considerable merits and some of the largest per-pupil spending in the state. |
