Summary
Rock Creek Community Academy is an alternative K–12 school in Sellersburg, Indiana, serving 672 students as its own school district. That makes it mid-sized among the nearby alternatives parents might compare it with — larger than Community Montessori in New Albany (487 students, PK–12) but much smaller than Indiana Gateway Digital Academy in Clarksville (5,318 students, K–12, part of Clarksville Community School Corp).
Graduation and attendance are the standout strengths. Rock Creek's 2024–25 graduation rate is 100.0%, which is 10.3 points above the state's 89.7% and 26.3 points above Indiana Gateway Digital Academy, and it matches Community Montessori. The longer trend is positive too: graduation rose from 86.1% in 2020–21 to 100.0% in 2024–25, staying at or above the state each year. Chronic absenteeism is 14.2%, below the state's 16.7% and far below Gateway's 32.0%, and it has fallen steadily from 23.8% in 2021–22.
Academically, 2025–26 all-grade ILEARN results are higher than both nearby alternatives in every subject: English language arts 42.32%, math 37.10%, and science 47.15%, compared with Community Montessori's 23.19%, 13.04%, and 33.33%. Grade-level results are mixed versus the state. Bright spots include 3rd-grade math (59.15% vs. 51.9%), 5th-grade ELA (51.72% vs. 42.2%), 4th-grade science, 5th-grade social studies, and SAT EBRW (57.5% vs. 51.9%). The clear concern is middle-school math, which slides to 9.76% in 8th grade against the state's 34.2%, with SAT math also below state at 22.5% versus 25.6%. Rock Creek serves a moderate-to-high poverty population (43.9% free/reduced lunch), spends $8,371 per student, and has a student-teacher ratio of 13.7 — similar to Community Montessori's 12.8 and far lower than Gateway's 33.0.
