Durham Academy
#1 Best Private K-12 Schools in Raleigh Area
Junior: Clearly the best school in the state. The academics are world-class and prepare students for any college. DA caters to the intellectually gifted and particularly motivated students who enjoy school. The community is very tight-knit, and the strong alumni network and donors reflect on the success and happiness of graduates. Athletic teams are surprisingly competitive for the small size of the school, and there are a variety of activities to encompass all interests. Teachers are extremely accessible, and the small class sizes and discussion-based classes are conducive to an incredible learning environment. In addition, the renovated campus is modern and elegant, and the food options (between daily food trucks and the catered school store food) are immaculate. Except for Sitar. Stay away from Sitar. Overall, there is no school with a better combination of excellent academics and athletics, along with an all-around amazing student life.
