Summary

Rock Hill School is an elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Wallingford School District in Connecticut, with around 300 students. The school has consistently received a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating stable performance compared to other elementary schools in the state.

Rock Hill School stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, 68.6% of 5th graders at Rock Hill School were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 66.1% for the district and 52.5% for the state. The school also performs well for certain student subgroups, ranking very highly for Hispanic students in ELA and in the top 14 out of 70 schools for low socioeconomic status students in 2021-2022. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has been increasing in recent years, reaching 20% in 2022-2023, which is an area of concern.

Nearby schools like Pond Hill School and Mary G. Fritz Elementary School of Yalesville also demonstrate strong academic performance, but Rock Hill School stands out for its consistent 3-star rating and its success in supporting certain student subgroups.
