Public High School Options in Durham County

Durham Public Schools

DPS Website: www.dpsnc.net

Durham Public Schools has an excellent website with loads of information on each school.  Here in the two columns to the right is just a little information gleaned from that site to get you started researching the public school options in Durham County.


For complete school profiles, career pathways, and state ABC ratings, visit the two school profile lists online: 
www.dpsnc.net/schools/school-profiles/high-school-list

www.dpsnc.net/schools/school-profiles/secondary-school-list

DPS Enrollment:
To enroll in the traditional school in your current school district, get an application from the DPS website, the school, or the Office of Student Assignment, gather the other supporting documentation, and submit the packet directly to the school.

To enroll in a traditional school outside your current school district (for a specific Career Pathway) or a School of Choice, get an application from the DPS website, the school, or the Office of Student Assignment after the Winter Break.  Students are assigned by lottery. Lotteries are conducted in early March, and students are notified in mid-March of their assignments.  Subsequent lotteries are held with the original application pool to assign students to declined slots from the first lottery.

Questions: Questions about enrollment in any DPS school can be directed to the Office of Student Assignment, (919) 560- 2059.
