Indian Creek Elementary

Summary:

Indian Creek Elementary is a public elementary school located in Placerville, California, serving 466 students in grades K-4 and part of the Mother Lode Union Elementary School District.

While Indian Creek Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, from 9.9% in 2018-2019 to 33.1% in 2020-2021, its academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally lower than the state and nearby school averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics were around 30-40%, compared to the state averages of 47.04% and 35.54%, respectively. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with male, Hispanic, and White students performing significantly lower than their peers statewide. Indian Creek Elementary also has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 46.75% to 51.34% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and some nearby schools like Rescue Elementary (21.33%) and Buckeye Elementary (42.31%).

The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past decade, from a high of 1764 out of 5611 California elementary schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 3750 out of 5862 in 2023-2024, suggesting that its performance has not kept pace with the state's overall improvement. While Indian Creek Elementary's performance is generally lower than the state averages, some nearby schools, such as Green Valley Elementary, Rescue Elementary, and Buckeye Elementary, demonstrate significantly higher academic achievement across multiple metrics, suggesting that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices and strategies employed by these higher-performing schools.

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.
