RCCS

What RCCS does

Rock County Christian School (RCCS) is a private, interdenominational, evangelical K-12 Christian day school serving families in Rock County, Wisconsin. Founded in 1985 as Janesville Christian School by the Rock County Evangelical Ministerial Association and renamed in 1990 after acquiring a second building in Beloit, it offers a college preparatory curriculum integrated with a Biblical worldview across kindergarten through 12th grade. Beyond core academics, the school delivers structured programming in spiritual life (chapel, retreats, community service), competitive athletics (soccer, volleyball, basketball, football), music and choir, and a hot lunch program; it operates an annual apple pie fundraiser and a RaiseRight gift card commission program as auxiliary revenue streams.

The school's operating model is a multi-campus physical delivery model now consolidating into a single West Campus (acquired 2025, formerly McNeel Intermediate), with prior operations spread across a Janesville elementary campus (K-5, 5122 Driftwood Dr) and a Beloit MS/HS campus (6-12, 916 Bushnell St), plus a business office at 417 Harrison Ave in Beloit. Technology stack is conventional K-12 administrative SaaS: Sycamore for student information and lunch ordering, Stripe for payment processing, GiveButter for fundraisers, FAST for financial aid assessment, and Apptegy for the school's website and mobile app. Compliance posture covers FERPA, COPPA/CIPA (internet safety filtering) and HIPAA-adjacent student safety provisions.

Revenue mechanics are diversified across (1) tuition from families (undisclosed rate, financed in part through the FAST financial aid process), (2) state voucher funding via the Wisconsin Parental Choice Program for income-eligible families up to 220% of Federal Poverty Level — RCCS was the first WPCP participant in Rock County in 2013 — and (3) auxiliary recurring/transactional income from the hot lunch program and annual fundraising. Marketing is primarily direct-to-consumer, driven by parent referrals, church partnerships, community events (Fall Festival, athletics, performances), campus tours and shadow days, and a website/Facebook presence. The school is WRISA-accredited (2016) and holds memberships in WACS, AACS, and ACSI. Governance is by an elected school board (President Patrick Taylor) led operationally by Head of School Lori Mason and principals Jane Thompson (Elementary) and Krista Jones (MS/HS). Student body size is small, documented at a fluctuating 150-275 students over the institution's history.
