Our nodes go to Laurel Park Elementary (previously Baucom), then on to Salem Middle. The majority of kids in these schools are from Apex and in fact 90% of the kids from Salem Middle will not be moving to Cary HS.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;">Although the numbers on WCPSS website show an impact on the F&amp;R% for Cary HS 38% -> 24% an Apex 12% ->15%. There are nodes that have the same impact that should be moved instead. These nodes have more peers moving to Cary HS as opposed to our. In addition, we feel the numbers that are using are over estimated to help bolster their argument.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span><br /><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></p><p><span style="font-family:arial;"></p></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;"><strong>Who is being noded out of Apex High? </strong></span><br />Node 381.1 includes the following subdivisions: Salem Woods, St. James, Bishop's Gate, Weathersby, The Trace, plus individual homes on Salem Church Rd and N.
