About Us

School Profile

Rand Road Elementary first opened in 1990. We are a single track 4 school with about 400 students. Rand Road serves Pre-K - 5th grade students.

 Each year we have the Rand Road Run which is now in it's 30th year. 

Our staff and students have a great respect and openness for nature. This is evident when you visit our campus and see our outdoor learning spaces including a butterfly garden, natural area with nature trail, vegetable gardens and composting bins. We have been awarded azaleas through WRAL and continue to beautify our campus with community volunteers and twice annual beautification events.
