Our Mission Statement:

We pledge to foster a climate of instructional excellence, individual growth, and community partnerships.

Why Partnership is Different:

Partnership Elementary is a school of choice within the Wake County Public School System. We enroll just over 300 students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade. We deliver the NC Standard Course of Study through a small, individualized learning environment. At our school, individualized instruction is delivered using a team approach to know each child as a learner, to teach to his/her strengths and challenges, and to document progress through Personal Education Plans (PEP) for EVERY student.

Our school is unique because...

* There is no risk of reassignment by the Wake County School Board for applicant families.
* We average fewer than 20 students in each class, kindergarten through fifth grade.
* Each student has an individualized learning plan and progress is documented through Personal Education Plans, student data notebooks, and parent-teacher-student conferences held four times a year.
* We have a high level of parent involvement. Each family is asked to volunteer a minimum of four hours a month for the school.
* Each quarter our students focus on a community-based service learning project.
