Rock Hall Elementary has a diverse student population, with 57.14% White, 25.27% African American, 4.4% Hispanic, and 12.64% two or more races. The school's test scores show a mixed performance, with mathematics proficiency rates higher than the Kent County Public Schools district but lower than the state of Maryland, while English Language Arts and science proficiency rates are higher than the district but lower than the state. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1 is a positive factor, allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.
