Hi,
Thinking about relocating from wake county to a section of wake forest under Granville county schools. The name of the sub division is Chesleigh. Has anyone had negative experiences in Granville county schools? Any comments on the schools will be helpful elementary, middle and high school
My knowledge of Granville schools is limited to the ratings on Greatschools.org. As I recall, the elementary and middle schools closest to Chesleigh were rated 5 out of 10, which is "average". They were about 7 miles away in Creedmoor, so your kids would have longish bus rides.
In the other thread you started, someone spoke as if it was normal for the South Granville High School to have a dozen modular classrooms outside the building. I would find that quite unacceptable to have permanant modulars.

You'd hate Wake County, then. Most of the schools have permanent modular classrooms.

T hanks for the comments. I am feeling so
torn since the house and price is great for our family of 6.My kids currently attend Heritage elementary and middle school and they are great schools. I would hate to remove them from a great school to attend a not so good school zone.

The schools are not going to be as good as Heritage or even most of Wake County...they aren't bad per se....but they will be more limited.

What is wrong with the modulars? MANY schools have them so if you are are going to look down your nise at them..give up on most of the area. ....they are often nicer than inside classrooms (especially in older buildings) - teachers like them because they are quieter and I've not heard of a student that had a problem with them. It seems odd that anyone would think this is a negative.
Heck - we've had entire schools made up of them for a couple of years use...until permanent buildings could be finished.....and guess what? Not a single problem with the education of those students. Heck in 3rd grade my daughter had a pull out AG enrichment class (not sure if they do that anymore) that was in a modular.

FYI, I have no plans to move to the Triangle. I was just attempting to give the OP a perspective. Having modulars implies that the population has grown too fast for the county to keep up with paying for sufficient schools.
I am glad that you know that kids can get a good education in modulars.

We used to live on Long Island, that bastion of fine education, and some schools up there have modulars too.
All my kids have had classes in trailers - a modular is actually a large self contained unit. Teachers usually like it because they control the temperature and there's less distraction from goings-on inside the building. Also less spur of the moment visits from admin
I can't figure out what goes in a regular classroom inside the building that can't be accomplished inside a trailer or modular.
