Summary

Rockhill Elementary is a K–5 school in Stafford, VA, serving 639 students as part of Stafford County Public Schools. The school sits in the middle of Virginia's elementary rankings, bouncing between the 58th and 48th percentiles in recent years. Among nearby schools, Rockhill ranks above Widewater Elementary, Anthony Burns Elementary, Anne E. Moncure Elementary, Hampton Oaks Elementary, and Kate Waller Barrett Elementary, but below Margaret Brent Elementary, Winding Creek Elementary, Garrisonville Elementary, and Stafford Elementary.

Rockhill's standout feature is its early-grade performance. Third-grade reading scores (78%) are the highest among 11 nearby schools, and third-grade math (83%) is second only to Margaret Brent Elementary. The school also keeps students in class: chronic absenteeism dropped from 22.6% to 10.0% over two years, the third-lowest rate among its neighbors. Per-pupil spending has risen to $10,360, above most comparable schools.

However, that early strength fades by upper grades. Fourth-grade reading and math hover near district averages, and 5th-grade science (60%) trails the state by nearly 9 points. VA Studies also falls below district and state levels. The school's most pressing equity concern is support for disabled students, who rank in the bottom fifth statewide. Military-connected students also saw a dramatic drop in outcomes, falling from the 76th to 26th percentile in a single year. The share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch has risen from 36% to 43% in three years, a trend worth watching. Rockhill has clear strengths to build on, but upper-grade content areas and support for specific student groups need attention.

Open Quote We are a military family and they made our daughter and our family feel so welcome. Besides the fact that their report card is among the top three for the area, this is a great school. They are very organized and polite on the phone. Teachers are easy to speak with and constantly updated us on what our daughter was doing good on and what she needed improvement on. Top notch school if you ask me. I wish we didn't have to move. Close Quote
