Description: China Grove Elementary is located in China Grove, North Carolina, a progressively growing town in Southern Rowan County. The school is situated on a 13.3 acre campus at 514 South Franklin Street.
The original building was completed in 1924 with a three story brick annex being added in 1950. In 1984 five classrooms were added and two large teaching stations were converted into a media center. In 1986 a new cafeteria and multi-purpose room were built. The latest addition was in 1996, when another two story section was added on with a major renovation to the original building.
Our school serves a very large and diverse student population that provides many unique and meaningful learning opportunities for our children. Currently China Grove Elementary serves 604 students from Pre-K to 5th grade. We have staff members which includes 41 highly qualified teachers (classroom and supplemental), 16 instructional assistants, 1 part time nurse, 1 part time school phycologist, 4 office staff, 4 custodians and two administrators.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
