Comparing school options in Asheboro

Randolph County has two public school districts: Asheboro City Schools and the Randolph County School System. Each runs its own Exceptional Children (EC) department and Project Child Find, so confirm which district serves your address before you call. Asheboro City Schools' Office of Exceptional Children handles referrals for students in the city district.

In North Carolina, each public school unit must find and evaluate children ages 3 to 21 who live in it, including children placed by parents in private schools located there. For infants and toddlers, the North Carolina Infant-Toddler Program takes referrals through local Children's Developmental Services Agencies. State policy requires evaluation, eligibility, the IEP and placement to be finished within 90 days of a written referral, so put your request on paper.

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Needs Schools in Asheboro

Which school district handles my Asheboro child?
Check your address. Asheboro City Schools and the Randolph County School System each run their own EC program and Child Find, and families should contact the district that serves their home. Randolph County's EC department serves about 2,000 students with disabilities ages 3 to 22. Asheboro City Schools lists its own Office of Exceptional Children.
How do I request an evaluation?
Write to your child's principal, teacher, or the district's Exceptional Children office. North Carolina requires the evaluation, eligibility decision and, for an eligible child, the IEP and placement within 90 days of the written referral. Date your letter and keep a copy. Our evaluation guide shows what to include.
My child goes to a private school in Asheboro. Who evaluates?
Under North Carolina Child Find, the public school unit where the private school is located identifies and evaluates parentally placed private school students. Asheboro City Schools notes this does not stop a parent from also asking the district where the family lives for an evaluation. Services for private school students are more limited than an IEP in public school.
Where do I start for a child under 3?
Contact your local Children's Developmental Services Agency to refer your child to the North Carolina Infant-Toddler Program, by phone, fax, letter, in person or with the state referral form. Children up to age three with certain delays or established conditions can qualify. Once a child turns three, the school district takes over. See our early intervention guide.
