About Rocky Mount Academy
Our Rocky Mount school serves pre-K through grade 12, with lower, middle and upper school divisions. We prepare students for further education and life through academics and school participation.
Our Academic Success Center offers tutoring, homework support, test preparation, project help and enrichment to students with different levels of achievement. A documented disability is not required to use that program. Eligible students can receive speech services through Nash Rocky Mount Schools. We review student needs individually rather than limiting our school to one disability group.
