Rocky Creek Elementary

Q: Is Rocky Creek Elementary a good school?

Rocky Creek Elementary ranks 556 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Rocky Creek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Hampton, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 663 students. The school is part of the Henry County School District, which is ranked 152 out of 203 districts in Georgia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rocky Creek Elementary has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years, with its highest ranking being 347 out of 1,234 Georgia elementary schools in the 2018-2019 school year. The school consistently outperforms the Henry County and Georgia state averages in the Milestones Assessment for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across grades 3-5. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 50.5% of 3rd graders, 34.8% of 4th graders, and 52.1% of 5th graders at Rocky Creek Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 26.3%, 26.5%, and 37.4% for Henry County, and 38.4%, 37%, and 48.2% for the state.

While Rocky Creek Elementary outperforms the district and state averages, it is interesting to note that some of the nearby schools, such as Dutchtown Elementary and Mount Carmel Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in certain grade levels and subject areas. This suggests that there may be factors beyond just the school's demographics and funding that contribute to academic success, such as teaching practices, curriculum, and school leadership. Additionally, the relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Rocky Creek Elementary and some of the nearby schools may indicate the need for additional support and resources to address the unique needs of these students and their families.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
