Summary

Rocky Creek Elementary in Hampton, GA, serves approximately 696 students in Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Henry County School District, and it stands out as a strong academic performer in its immediate area.

In the most recent testing cycle, Rocky Creek’s math proficiency rates were notably strong. For example, 3rd grade math proficiency reached 56.2%, compared to the district average of 36.9% and the state average of 48.3%. This pattern continued in 4th and 5th grades, where the school also beat district averages and came close to or exceeded state averages. These results are especially impressive when compared to nearby schools—Wesley Lakes Elementary School posted just 22.1% proficiency in 3rd grade math, and even the closest peer, Dutchtown Elementary School, trailed in every math category. Rocky Creek also earns a 4-star rating for its work with African American students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide—a significant strength. The school has also made remarkable progress on attendance, cutting its chronic absenteeism rate from 24.3% in 2022-2023 to 14.4% in 2025-2026, now well below both district (19.6%) and state (17.7%) averages.

While math is a clear highlight, 5th grade science proficiency (35.8%) trails the state average (44.2%), though it still exceeds the district average (31.1%). The school’s overall 3-star rating has held steady in recent years, and it ranks in the 53rd–58th percentile statewide—a solid middle-tier position, though below its pre-pandemic 4-star performance. Rocky Creek also uses its resources efficiently, spending $13,920 per student, which is less than nearby Oakland Elementary School ($17,653) and Hampton Elementary School ($16,925), both of which rank far lower. For families in the Hampton area, Rocky Creek consistently outperforms every comparable school within a 7-mile radius, making it a standout choice in the district.
