Rock Branch Elementary has been a part of the Nitro/Poca area in its current location since 1952. In fact, two of our teachers were elementary students in this very same building!  Our school is, however, in great shape due to the  efforts of the community, staff, and county maintenance department who have helped provide renovations and updates to the facility and grounds to provide a clean, bright and enjoyable place to learn and grow.  With the help of many fund raisers and donations, we are currently in the process of completing updates of our playground and outside appearance.

We welcome visitors to our web site as well as to our school. The website should keep you updated with vital information concerning our school and its programs.
