What Randolph County School District does

Randolph County School District is a public K-12 school system headquartered at 214 Highland Avenue in Cuthbert, Georgia, operating as a government entity under the authority of the Georgia Department of Education and the Randolph County Board of Education. The district serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade across three campuses — Randolph County Elementary, Randolph County Middle School, and Randolph-Clay High School — plus a Head Start program for three- and four-year-olds. It also offers career and technical education pathways in Graphic Design, Game Design, Plant and Landscape Systems, Computer Science, Elementary Agriculture, CNA, Culinary Arts, Law Enforcement, Automotive Climate Control, and Early Childhood Education, with dual-enrollment credit-bearing coursework through Albany Technical College under the Move on When Ready program. A transportation office is maintained at a separate Cuthbert location serving both Randolph and Clay County students.

The district's technology stack consists of standard educational infrastructure: wired and wireless networks, student information systems, learning management tools, and A+ Panel classroom technology, governed by a 3-Year Technology Plan covering 2025-2028. It holds Cognia accreditation, complies with FERPA, IDEA 2004, Title VI, Title IX, and Section 504. Funding flows from state Quality Basic Education (QBE) appropriations, federal Title I and IDEA grants, USDA Seamless Summer Option meal reimbursements, local property taxes, and the voter-approved 1-cent Education Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (ESPLOST). Distribution is purely geographic: residents within the Randolph County catchment enroll through a central registration office at 214 Highland Avenue, with no alternative public K-12 provider in the county. Communications to families flow through the sowegak12.org website, Connect Suite parent/staff portal, published calendars, and Federal Programs family engagement documents.

Student outcomes have improved materially under current leadership. Superintendent Dr. Tangela Madge oversees a Five-Year Strategic Plan focused on Academic Instruction, Professional Growth, Stakeholder Involvement, Safe and Orderly Schools, and Operational Services. The high school graduation rate rose from approximately 50% to 81%, and the district has implemented Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) district-wide. The leadership team includes an Assistant Superintendent/Federal Programs Director (Donna Drakeford), CFO (Darlene Wingler), and directors across Special Education, Technology, Transportation, Maintenance, Human Resources, and Nutrition. Revenue and budget figures are not disclosed in available source materials, though an FY 2027 Tentative Budget document is referenced.
