Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) is a school district which educates over 12,000 students (pre-K through 12th grade) in the southeastern part of Orange County, North Carolina. Being near three major universities as well as the Research Triangle Park, it serves one of the best educated populations in the United States. It is the school district for most of Chapel Hill (except the small portion of Chapel Hill that is in Durham County) and all of Carrboro, including schools from elementary through high school. It is financed through property taxes, including a city supplement, as well as state and federal funds. The administrative center is located at Lincoln Center at 750 South Merritt Mill Road. Lincoln Center is the site of the former all-black high school.^[1] Services are available for gifted, special needs, and limited English proficiency students. CHCCS has the Learning Environment for Advanced Programing (LEAP), which is an accelerated learning program from the 4th to 8th grades that teaches its students material that is ~1-2 years above their grade level.^[2]
