we have been generally very pleased with our experience in CHCCS but have been fortunate to have good school staff (Seawell and Smith). However, we are moving to charter this coming year for HS -- it will be a bit of a pain but our friends who have gone the charter route have appreciated the smaller environment.
I can only speak of our situation, where we have a student at ECHHS. Yes, for sure there are issues, but the school (with the superintendent being hands-on lately) is at least shining a light on them.
CH schools get half funding from Orange County, so that adds a bit of complexity over which "half" is lobbied to address funding pitfalls.
Our kiddo is actually thriving this year (acknowledging the fights, and that it was the same kids). It's just our situation, but I wanted to point out that not all experiences are negative.
We have heard stories from neighbors about private schools in RTP with rampant drug use, so yeah, everyone can dig up a horror story.
Anybody in the area a while should see how CH schools are structurally messed up. The district is completely unbalanced economically because chapel hill has been so anti home building for so long so the bulk of the middle class cohort is small or non existent
As time goes on and the housing crises takes hold it will be more stark

I don't know the details; but any large scale home building should take into account road traffic, school capacity etc; it's not just like I want to build 200 units of home that's it. Rather the whole community needs to be developed at the same time...
