Summary

Rocky Hill Elementary is a K–5 school in Exeter, California, serving 554 students in Exeter Unified. Its 2025–2026 results show strengths across subjects, with particularly strong English language arts (ELA) performance.

Results vary by grade: third grade led local schools in both ELA and math, while fourth-grade math was a weak spot at 36%—7 points below the state and 3 below the district.

Results have improved over the longer term: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose 21 percentage points in ELA, 13 in math and 7 in science, though math and science have dipped since the previous year.
