Rockdale County Public Schools students and parents will see even more school choice programs next year as the system continues moving towards its goals of more specialized and individualized instruction. Specialty option programs are essentially schools-within-schools that offer specific, often career-oriented programs. Seats are available at the specialty programs for out-of-zone Rockdale students.
