Case Study: Nash‑Rocky Mount Public Schools achieves reliable 1:1 learning and simplified district-wide network management with Cisco Meraki

Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools - Customer Case Study

Nash-Rocky Mount Public Schools, a district in northeastern North Carolina serving over 16,000 students across 31 schools, was struggling with frequent network outages and an aging controller-based system that couldn’t support its 1:1 device program. The district chose Cisco Meraki, deploying Meraki MR access points and MS switches to replace the failing infrastructure and enable a cloud-managed network.

Using Cisco Meraki’s cloud dashboard, the IT team now manages 2,500+ Meraki devices, can deploy 100 access points in a single night, and has one AP per classroom—dramatically reducing outages and reliably supporting digital learning across the district. The Meraki solution delivered port-level visibility, simplified remote configuration and troubleshooting, and measurable scale that lets the IT staff focus on improving student experiences rather than constant maintenance.
