Funding fit for Raleigh Day School
Does Raleigh Day School take the NC Opportunity Scholarship?
Yes. Raleigh Day School matched a listing on NCSEAA's 2026-27 Direct Payment table, so the Opportunity Scholarship and ESA+ can both be paid to it. A student here can receive up to $7,942 at Tier 1, $7,148 at Tier 2, $4,766 at Tier 3 or $3,574 at Tier 4, but never more than the school's required tuition and fees. Pre-K years fall outside the scholarship, which starts at kindergarten.
How big is Raleigh Day School, according to the federal survey?
The 2023-24 federal private school survey lists Raleigh Day School with 24 students, 3 full-time-equivalent teachers, roughly 7.1 students per teacher across grades PK-4. The school year is 173 days long.
How do families pay for Raleigh Day School?
Raleigh Day School lists no religious tie. Aid at an independent school comes out of the school's own budget, and many schools work it out after subtracting any state award.
Is pre-K at Raleigh Day School free?
The Wake Pre-K application places four-year-olds in NC Pre-K, Title I Pre-K or Head Start; ask the director whether a room here is part of it. Child care subsidy can also help working families pay a participating preschool.

What the Direct Payment flag means
| A ✓ on the Direct Payment column tells you | It does not tell you |
|---|---|
| NCSEAA can send Opportunity Scholarship and ESA+ money to this school for 2026-27 | That a seat is open or that your child will be admitted |
| The award goes to required tuition and fees, up to your tier amount | That the award will cover the full bill |
| The school accepted NCSEAA's testing and audit rules for scholarship students | Whether the school is accredited, which the state table does not show |
