PUBLIC SCHOOLS:

The Person County Public School System consists of two preschools, seven elementary schools (grades kindergarten through five), two middle schools (grades six through eight), one high school (grades nine through 12), and one alternative program. All elementary and middle schools are state accredited, and Person High School is accredited through the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools.

Bethel Hill Charter School is a public school of choice operating in Person County. The journey from a humble beginning in 2000 to a successful operation has been almost unbelievable. Through the efforts of parents, area businesses, community people, faculty, and students the school has grown significantly. This growth has not only been noted through physical growth of the school, but through the growth of the students and their performance as well.

Roxboro Community School is a North Carolina Public Charter School. The school is housed in a historic renovated cotton mill building that was first opened in 1900. The curriculum offers standard college preparatory courses in Advanced Placement courses, North Carolina Online courses and North Carolina Community College course opportunities.
