School Report Card
Letter from the Principal
Dear Rock Rest Parents and Friends,
Rock Rest Elementary is an exceptional school where students develop a growth mindset and a love for learning. Our staff fosters a positive culture that celebrates each child’s strengths and helps them become strong readers, writers, speakers, and listeners—skills that prepare them to thrive as effective communicators and thoughtful citizens.
We are proud of our outstanding results. Last year, Rock Rest earned a “B” School Report Card grade, with math scores equivalent to an “A.” Our students showed significant academic growth, performing as well as or better than many charter or Title 1 schools in the state.
As a Title I school, we are grateful for the additional resources that allow us to provide targeted small-group and one-on-one instruction. Our dedicated support staff plays a key role in helping every child reach their full potential.
At Rock Rest, we believe in a culture of excellence—one that encourages kindness, respect, and confidence. Our students know their learning goals, celebrate their progress, and embody the joy of learning every day.
We invite you to review our North Carolina School Report Card and celebrate our success. Thank you for your continued support in making Rock Rest Elementary one of the best schools in the state.
Sincerely,
Kristy L. Thomas
Principal
