Public Grades
Summary

Rock Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Auburn, California, serving students from kindergarten to 5th grade. With a student population that has become increasingly diverse in recent years, the school has faced some significant challenges in academic performance and student attendance.

Academically, Rock Creek Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Auburn Union Elementary District and the state of California, with only 29.06% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and just 2.5% proficient or better in Science. This is in stark contrast to nearby schools like Northside Elementary and Skyridge Elementary, which significantly outperform Rock Creek in academic achievement. Additionally, the school has seen a troubling increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 9.6% in 2018-2019 to 27.8% in 2022-2023, well above the state average.

Compounding these academic and attendance challenges, Rock Creek Elementary serves a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.41% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This, combined with the school's underperformance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and English Language Learners, suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the school's diverse population. By addressing these key areas of concern and implementing a comprehensive, data-driven approach, Rock Creek Elementary can work towards improving student outcomes and providing a high-quality education for all its students.
