Summary

Rock Creek Elementary School is a K–6 school in the rural community of Rock Creek, Ohio, serving 313 students as part of the Jefferson Area Local district. Statewide, the school ranks 779 of 1,560 schools in 2025–2026 — the 50th percentile with 3 stars — while the district ranks 321 of 773. Its rank history shows a decline from a high of the 70th percentile (4 stars) in 2017–2018 to a low of 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2021–2022, then a steady settle in the mid-50s to 50th percentile, where it now sits.

The school's clearest strengths are science and upper-grade reading. Fifth-grade science proficiency was 70.7%, above the district (64.7%) and state (62.7%), and has beaten both for four straight years. Sixth-grade ELA reached 80.0% — 24 points above the state's 56.0% — and fifth-grade ELA was 78.6%. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 22.0% in 2022–2023 to 16.2%, below the district's 21.2%; among nearby schools, only South Elementary School is lower (15.1%), while Geneva Platt R. Spencer Elementary School (28.3%) and Ashtabula Area City schools (33.8%–40.1%) are far higher. Special education students ranked 79th percentile (4 stars), a sustained bright spot. Notably, Rock Creek manages this with a student–teacher ratio of 21.5 and per-student spending of $7,497 — a higher ratio and lower spending than many neighbors.

The main concern is the current 4th grade, where math was 33.3% against the district's 65.1%, the state's 67.3%, and Jefferson Elementary's 82.1%; 4th-grade ELA was also low at 51.1%. The same group scored 38.3% in 3rd-grade math and 42.6% in 3rd-grade ELA the year before, so this is persistent rather than a one-year dip. Rock Creek is not uniformly behind its same-district peer, however — it outperforms Jefferson in 5th-grade science, 6th-grade math, and 5th- and 6th-grade ELA. Nearby overall ranks put South at 66th percentile, Austinburg Elementary School at 64th, Jefferson and Cork Elementary School at 59th, Rock Creek at 50th, Grand Valley Elementary School at 47th, and Geneva Platt at 34th. Within the school, female students (42nd percentile) and low-income students (41st) rank below the overall 50th, while male students rank 57th — gaps worth watching.
