Zip code 44084 in Rock Creek, Ohio is served by a single public school: Rock Creek Elementary School, an elementary school for grades K–6 with 313 students in the Jefferson Area Local district.

Rock Creek Elementary School holds a 3-star rating and ranks 779 of 1560 Ohio schools in 2025–2026, at the 50th percentile — essentially the middle of the state, consistent with its 50th percentile in 2024–2025 and 54th percentile in 2023–2024. Its district, Jefferson Area Local, ranks 321 of 773 districts, also with 3 stars. On a simple unweighted average of reported tests, the school scored 62.6% in 2025–2026, close to the state's 62.1% but behind the district's 65.6%. English language arts and science are the school's strengths: ELA averaged 68.7% versus the state's 62.9%, and science 70.7%, above both district and state. Math averaged 54.5%, below the district and state at 61.2%, largely because of fourth-grade math at 33.3% — 34.0 points below the state and a steep drop from 76.7%. Fourth-grade ELA also fell to 51.1%, 10.7 points below the state. By contrast, sixth-grade ELA reached 80.0%, 24.0 points above the state, and fifth-grade ELA (78.6%) and science (70.7%) were also above state and district. Third- and sixth-grade results improved sharply year over year, with third-grade math and ELA each up 22.6 points and sixth-grade ELA up 25.7 points.

Beyond test scores, chronic absenteeism is 16.2%, better than the district's 21.2%, though still roughly 1 in 6 students. Nearly half of students (46.96%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, and the student-teacher ratio is 21.5. The only spending figure available is $7,497 per student from 2018–2019, too old to reflect current funding. Test data cover grades 3–6 only, and year-over-year changes may reflect different student groups rather than true improvement or decline. Overall, this is a median-ranked school with strong upper-grade ELA and science and a notable fourth-grade math and reading challenge.
