310 Villa Dr, Durham, NC 27712

We have two daughters who attend Little River. One is receiving speech services there (and has since she became eligible at 3). We looked at all of the different school options before starting there and actually got into one of the magnet schools. However, we decided to stay with our "neighborhood school," and we are so glad we did. Our experience has been extremely positive, from the quality of staff and teachers to logistics and communication. We also wanted an environment that brought together all different kinds of students and families, and Little River really does. Our girls are very different and each one is being well served academically and both are definitely being cared for -- it is truly a supportive and caring environment. The assistant principal and his daughter even started a fun and thoughtful Youtube show to keep the students engaged during the pandemic (and we are so happy it is continuing). The staff and teachers always seem to go above and beyond their call of duty. We feel that there are many great options in DPS, and Little River is definitely one of them!
