With 419 students, Rocky Creek Elementary has consistently been ranked in the top 25% of Mississippi elementary schools over the past 10 years, currently ranking 73 out of 383 schools.

Rocky Creek Elementary consistently outperforms the George County School District and the state of Mississippi in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, 68.8% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 55.8% for the district and 49.4% for the state. Similarly, 69.4% of 5th graders were proficient or better in Math, compared to 54.1% for the district and 48.3% for the state.

Despite serving a high-need student population, with over 99% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Rocky Creek Elementary maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.1 to 17 over the past few years. This may contribute to the school's strong academic performance, which outpaces nearby schools such as Benndale Elementary School, Leakesville Elementary School, and others in the George County School District.
