Summary:

Rock Hill School is an elementary school serving grades 3-5 in the Wallingford School District in Connecticut, with a student population of 303 and a 3-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One key differentiator for Rock Hill School is its racial makeup, with a higher percentage of Hispanic students (23.76%) compared to the Wallingford School District (19.54%) and the state of Connecticut (23.1%). Additionally, Rock Hill School generally outperforms the Wallingford School District and the state on standardized tests, especially in mathematics, with 58.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in SBAC Mathematics compared to 57.3% for the district and 51.3% for the state. The school's Hispanic students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds also perform exceptionally well, ranking 17th and 14th, respectively, out of Connecticut elementary schools in those subgroups.

Other notable findings include Rock Hill School's consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, and its ability to achieve strong academic results without significantly higher funding compared to nearby schools. While the school's overall performance is strong, there are some disparities in the performance of certain subgroups, such as White students and female students, which could be an area for further investigation and improvement. Overall, Rock Hill School appears to be a strong-performing elementary school within the Wallingford School District, with particular strengths in mathematics, science, and the performance of its Hispanic and low-income students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
