The school has a very homogeneous student population, with over 96% of students identifying as White. With only 165 students, Road Branch Elementary & Middle School is a relatively small school, which could have both advantages and disadvantages in terms of the educational environment and resources available to students. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $13,126, which is above the state average, but the data does not provide the specific free/reduced lunch rate, which could be useful to understand the socioeconomic status of the student population.
