Expansion Management Magazine, "a business magazine for executives of companies that are actively looking for a place to expand or relocate their facilities within the next one to three years," has ranked the Raleigh-Cary metropolitan statistical area as having the strongest public school district among mid-sized metros (100,000 to 250,000 students).
Chief editor Bill King writes:
It's not enough to determine where the best individual school in a particular metro, because the site location process is not really about where you or your transferring executives will send your own kids.
Rather, in the site location process, you need to remember that the public schools are the institutions that are producing your future work force. How well they do their job in educating your future workers will, in a very real sense, determine how successful your operation will be in that location.
That's great recognition for the strength of Wake County's schools, and an acknowledgment of the role of a strong school system in a strong local economy.
