What Rockingham County Schools does

Rockingham County Schools (RCS) is a public K-12 school district operating under North Carolina state law, headquartered at 511 Harrington Highway in Eden, NC, with a secondary operations facility in Reidsville. The district operates 23 schools across Rockingham County serving students from kindergarten through 12th grade, with specialized programs including Career & Technical Education (CTE) pathways in Advanced Manufacturing, Construction, Healthcare, Digital Technology, Agriculture, and Business; an International Baccalaureate (IB) program; an Early College High School in partnership with Rockingham Community College; a CTE Innovative High School; and an Academically and Intellectually Gifted (AIG) program. The district also operates the Exceptional Children (EC) program serving approximately 2,000 students with disabilities ages 3-22, the Head Start preschool program, English as a Second Language (ESL) services, Migrant Education, McKinney-Vento Homeless support, and the Kids' Companion before/after school care program at six elementary locations.

Supporting infrastructure includes a transportation fleet of 125 yellow school buses traveling over 9,500 miles daily and transporting 6,296 students (including 14 special needs buses and 36 activity buses serving 23 schools), 9 school nurses (8 nationally certified), and Student Health Centers located in all four traditional high schools. The technology stack is built on Edulog (transportation routing with parent portal), Infinite Campus (student information system with parent portal), Google Workspace for Education, Chromebooks, NCEdCloud SSO, and Frontline/Aesop for substitute management. Revenue derives almost entirely from state per-pupil allocations, local property tax contributions, and federal categorical funds (Title I, IDEA, Head Start), with minor ancillary fees from athletics participation and child care. The district is governed by a seven-member Board of Education and led by Superintendent Dr. Charles Perkins.

Operates K-12 schools with similar program offerings (CTE, AIG, exceptional children) and is a directly comparable institutional peer for funding, staffing, and operational benchmarks.
• Forsyth County Schools: North Carolina public school district serving Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. Comparable in operating model (K-12 public, CTE, IB, transportation) but larger and more urban. Useful as a benchmark for program depth, salary scales, and student outcome metrics.
• Davidson County Schools: Neighboring North Carolina public school district with similar rural character, student demographics, and program structure. Directly comparable for funding allocation, teacher pay, transportation fleet design, and CTE program design.
