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.

I do not think enough students have been reassigned from Rolesville High to adequately relieve the overcrowding at RHS. The reassignment area needs to be larger, based on the fact that after the reassignments RHS is still planned to be over capacity and the fact that there is so much development in process in the Rolesville area. Where are the larger reassignments and capping that other High Schools in the area have been given when they were as overcrowded as RHS?

Kristen - while this reassignment proposal was able to provide a small amount of relief to RHS' overcrowding, this was proposed more to address a transportation inefficiency.
