My wife and I love the Hasentree houses and sense of community but are struggling to understand the schools nearby. We have a daugther age 4 who attends JK at a small private school in California that is only 2 miles from our house. She is very creative and loves being outdoors. She does best by learning through play. We have an opportunity to move to the RTP area and are reaching out for help because schools are very important and your local experience can hopefully help us better understand the schools nearby Hasentree.
What are you struggling with? You can go to www.wcpss.net and see what schools your house is assigned to. You do need to understand there's a possibility of being reassigned at some point (don't let anyone tell you reassignments only happen in West Cary....it's not true).
We are struggling to understand the level of education offered by the local public school vs private school. Local school is closer by and private school (ravenscroft) is much further. Where do most Hasentree kids go to school?

I know that your realtor has extreme limitations on answering questions on the "quality" of schools; but I'm certain they you what the school d I strict is for Hasentree.
Oh wait! You're not using a realtor to represent, educate and protect you, righht? You're just trusting the builder's rep?
Hasentree is a Toll Brothers development, yes? We bought new construction from Toll in 2013 and are VERY happy with our purchase. BUT the sales agent in the model home was a scank and a liar.
How can anyone quantify that for you? How many people here do you think have experience with the public schools you’re zoned for AND Ravenscroft? Personally if I could drop $20k plus on private school over WCPSS I woukd do it in a heartbeat (having had a child who went to private HS). You buy your way out of a lot of BS.
I have several friends in Hasentree, one of my dearest friends sold a couple months ago and built in Avalaire. I used to live in the Falls Lake area. The hard part of 98 is the commute times and there are no alternate routes due to the lakes. Most of the families I know there were at our same Catholic school K-8. As the kids have gone on to high school some have moved to get closer to "life" and others are a part of large carpools to get to Gibbons. I have 3 other friends in neighborhoods off 98 that have also moved due to increasing traffic and getting closer to next phase of life. In all these cases they were not doing the publics, so that would change if you did and your kids are young so you have time. I have a couple friends at Ravenscroft and they are happy. There's a new charter school opening next fall called Wake Prep Academy, K-12. Good luck, it's a beautiful area if you do land there. We spent many weekends walking around Blue Jay Pointe park.

We did homeschooling in HS for my youngest. Worked a lot better!
OP you can go to the schools'website to get info on test scores, and research sites like Great Schools for other info.

Wake County has a county-wide school district. Most of the schools within this district are good and your daughter will get a good education from them. Hasentree is assigned to Brassfield Elementary, Wakefield Middle, and Wakefield High.
Ravenscroft is one of the better private schools in the area. I have several neighbors who have children who attend and they are extremely happy with the school.

We're all homeschooling now if our high schoolers go to public school. Private schools are open with no issues.
