Revolution Academy, a public charter school located in Summerfield, North Carolina, recently announced a multi-million dollar investment in the community, arising from the school’s planned upper school campus. The new campus, located on 65 acres of newly acquired land, will serve students in grades 6-12. Revolution currently serves students in grades K-9, but plans to become a K-12 school by 2027.
According to an April 10 impact release from the school:
Revolution Academy’s new upper school campus, launched with a 65-acre purchase on March 25, 2025, is more than a school—it is poised to supercharge Guilford County with a $65 million economic jolt. A 2024 analysis projects the $30 million Revolution Rising campaign will drive a $42 million GDP surge during construction and spark $23 million in annual economic impact once operational, reshaping Summerfield and beyond for decades.
Construction will pump $11 million into local households and create 203 jobs, firing up Guilford County’s economy. Once open, serving 784 students in grades 6-12, the campus will deliver $23 million yearly, boosting earnings by $7.7 million and sustaining 178 jobs—from educators to ripple-effect roles in retail and services.
… “Revolution Academy’s expansion is a win for Summerfield, fueling jobs, growth, and a brighter future for our town’s families and businesses,” said Tim Sessoms, Mayor of Summerfield.
Congratulations to Revolution Academy on this new campus construction project! We look forward to seeing it come together. We love to see our member schools expanding and serving their communities in exciting ways.
