With easy access to Highway 501 and Durham-Chapel Hill Boulevard, commuting to either Durham or Chapel Hill is a breeze. Golfers appreciate the nearby Hope Valley Country Club, while nature lovers appreciate Duke Forest, a few minutes north of the neighborhood.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
