Summary

Rocky Creek Elementary School in Lucedale, MS, serves 402 students in grades PK-6 and is part of the George County School District, a district ranked 27th out of 134 in Mississippi. The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks 73rd out of 377 elementary schools statewide (81st percentile). What makes Rocky Creek stand out is its consistency — it has held a spot in the top quarter of the state for three straight years (75th, 73rd, and 73rd), suggesting durable instructional quality rather than a single strong class.

In English Language Arts, Rocky Creek beats both district and state averages in every grade level. Its 5th-grade ELA proficiency (76.3%) is the highest among nearby schools, and 6th-grade ELA (64.6%) also leads its comparison group. Math is more mixed: 3rd and 6th grade math are strong, but 5th-grade math (50.0%) trails the district average and falls well behind Benndale Elementary School (70.5%). Science is the clearest opportunity area — while Rocky Creek's 5th-grade science (78.9%) tops the state average, it lags district peers like Benndale (94.1%), Central Elementary School (89.3%), and Agricola Elementary School (88.4%).

Chronic absenteeism is a concern, rising from 16.6% in 2018-2019 to 28.6% in 2023-2024 — above the state average of 23.9%, though below the district's 31.8%. Rocky Creek serves a comparatively less economically disadvantaged population (56.7% free/reduced lunch) than nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is favorable. Notably, LT Taylor Intermediate School, only about 5 miles away, has dramatically lower proficiency rates across all subjects despite serving the same upper-elementary grades, underscoring that school-level factors matter more than geography. While Benndale holds the top rank among area schools, its ranking has swung from 183rd to 60th over three years, while Rocky Creek's steady performance offers families greater predictability.
