Creekside Oaks Elementary faces several challenges, including lower academic performance compared to nearby schools. The school's test scores are generally 10-20 percentage points below the district and state averages, particularly in 5th grade Mathematics. Additionally, Creekside Oaks has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 0% in 2017-2018 to 19.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the 12.2% rate at Twelve Bridges Elementary, the closest comparable school within the same district. The school also has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 41.43% to 51.23%, compared to nearby schools like Lincoln Crossing Elementary (20.18%) and Twelve Bridges Elementary (11.52%).

When compared to other schools in the area, Creekside Oaks Elementary's performance is inconsistent, with stronger results in 5th grade English Language Arts but weaker performance in 5th grade Mathematics and overall lower scores compared to the district and state. Schools in the Rocklin Unified School District, such as Diamond Creek Elementary and Sunset Ranch Elementary, consistently outperform Creekside Oaks Elementary on state assessments. These factors suggest a need for targeted interventions and additional resources to support student learning and address the identified areas of concern at Creekside Oaks Elementary.

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.
