Student Assignment

Your assigned school

In Wake County, students are assigned to a base school based on their residential address. Use the address lookup tool to view your base school. In some cases, a student's base school may be 'capped', meaning the school has reached the maximum number of students. For the current school year (2012-13), the following schools are capped: Brooks Elementary, Cedar Fork Elementary, Hunter Elementary, Lacy Elementary, Mills Park Elementary, Underwood Elementary and Wiley Elementary. If a student's assigned school is 'capped', they will be offered a choice of overflow schools. Contact Student Assignment or your base school with questions.
