To keep up with projected growth in some parts of the county and prevent the overcrowding of schools, we’re opening three new schools:
- Apex Friendship Elementary, 801 Humie Olive Road, Apex, opening in August 2022
- Barton Pond Elementary, 12004 Strickland Road, Raleigh, opening August 2022
- Herbert Akins Road Middle, 2255 Herbert Akins Road, Fuquay-Varina, opening July 2022
Other parts of the proposal are aimed at relieving some overcrowded schools, increasing the base attendance areas at under-utilized schools, and improving transportation efficiency.
Some students affected by this proposal will be able to submit a stability transfer and remain at their current school. Review the stability rules.

Hi, just curious if we know if this would hold for 23-24 school year. We would then have a rising 6th grader and would very much like him to follow his siblings to Oberlin Middle What would be the process for ensuring that?

Hi Matt, Once the proposal is approved, Oberlin would be the assignment for your address.

Corallie, just to clarify: my son would be slated for Oberlin for 2023-24, correct? I understand that since he will be a 5th grader in 2022-23 that he will be ok for Oberlin. thanks
