ENROLLMENT INFORMATION

Roxboro Community School enrolls students pursuant to North Carolina General Statute. The student must be a resident of North Carolina at the time of the lottery. The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction, Division of Charter Schools, mandates that applications from out-of-state residents are ineligible for admission unless proof of North Carolina residency can be provided prior to the date of the lottery.

Only one application may be submitted per child. RCS does give enrollment priority to siblings of currently enrolled students who were admitted to the charter school in a previous year and to employees’ children, but they must fill out the appropriate application and attend their assigned Orientation Meeting.

If multiple birth siblings apply for admission and a lottery is needed, RCS will enter one surname into the lottery to represent all of the multiple birth siblings. If that surname of the multiple birth siblings is selected, then all of the multiple birth siblings will be admitted.
