Summary

Rock Hall Elementary is a public elementary school serving 208 students in grades PK-5 in the town of Rock Hall, Maryland. The school is part of the Kent County Public Schools district, which is ranked 20 out of 25 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a lower-performing school district, Rock Hall Elementary consistently outperforms the district and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 45.3% of all Rock Hall Elementary students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 16.3% for the district and 26.5% for the state. However, the school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 26.0% compared to the state's 22.1% average, which may be impacting student learning and achievement.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.79% to 100% over the past few years, indicates that Rock Hall Elementary serves a population with significant socioeconomic challenges. This may require the school to provide additional support and resources to address the needs of its student population. Additionally, the school's small size and the need to provide these resources likely contribute to its higher spending per student, ranging from $18,281 to $26,498 per student over the past few years, compared to the state average.
