Contrary to popular belief, Wake Forest is not the home of Wake Forest University (at least, not since 1956). It is, however, a charming southern town with a consistently growing population, positioned roughly forty minutes northeast of Raleigh. The vibrant downtown district is a beautiful environment of unique shops, art galleries, and cafes in wonderfully preserved historic buildings.
The sports complex known as the Factory features everything from playgrounds for young children to ice rinks to indoor soccer. Residents enjoy the benefits of excellent schools, a low crime rate, an attractive atmosphere, and convenient amenities (several large shopping centers can be found along Highway 1). With Raleigh and Durham close by, it’s also easy to reach the bigger cities for work or leisure.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
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.
