FACTS & FIGURES ABOUT DURHAM PUBLIC SCHOOLS

At Durham Public Schools, we believe our schools are much more than data and numbers. But the data we collect play an important part in the work we do as a district -- they inform our planning, show us where we need to improve and help us understand what's working and where we are succeeding. Data helps us make decisions on how to best serve our students and their families.
