Summary

Rocky Branch Elementary School in Bogart, GA, serves 599 students in Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the highly regarded Oconee County district, which ranks in the 99th percentile statewide. The school currently holds a 5-star rating and ranks 64th out of 1,219 elementary schools in Georgia (95th percentile), with a track record of elite performance over the past decade.

Rocky Branch’s most recent math scores are a standout. In 3rd grade, 88.2% of students scored proficient—nearly 40 points above the state average and the highest among comparable Oconee County schools. Fifth-grade math (81.4%) and science (70.4%) also exceed district and state averages. The school is particularly effective with male students, ranking 38th statewide (97th percentile) for that subgroup. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low at 4.1%, compared to 7.0% districtwide and 17.7% statewide, reflecting strong family engagement. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending $12,655 per student—about $2,000 less than several nearby peers like Colham Ferry Elementary and Dove Creek Elementary—while outperforming them academically.

While Rocky Branch’s statewide rank has eased from its 2020-2021 peak of 22nd, it improved this year to 64th, suggesting stabilization. One area to watch is the gap between 3rd grade math (88.2%) and 4th grade math (76%), the largest among Oconee County schools, which may reflect cohort differences. The contrast with nearby Bettye Henderson Holston Elementary in Clarke County—just 8 miles away, with 33% chronic absenteeism and math proficiency of 10-14%—underscores how dramatically outcomes can vary by district. For parents, Rocky Branch offers a well-rounded, high-performing environment with strong attendance, efficient spending, and consistent excellence across subjects.
