Summary:
Rock Creek has two listed elementary schools serving pre-K through grade 4: St George Elementary, with 374 students, and Westmoreland Elementary, with 126. Their results show distinct subject strengths rather than one school leading across the board: the schools’ unweighted averages are 48% in ELA and 53% in math, compared with state results of 46% and 41%. The key takeaway is that the area’s math average is lifted mainly by Westmoreland, while St George has the stronger ELA result.

At the school level, Westmoreland’s math rose 13 points even as its ELA fell 15; St George’s math fell 12 and its ELA fell 4.
