Summary

Creekside Elementary School in Auburn, AL, serves 458 students in grades 3 through 5 and is part of the highly-rated Auburn City district, which holds a 5-star rating statewide.

Creekside is a consistently high-performing school, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 90th percentile or higher among all Alabama elementary schools for the past three years. Its most standout achievement is its exceptional support for English Language Learners (ELL), ranking #1 in the state for ELL student performance for two consecutive years (2023-2024 and 2024-2025) and remaining in the 95th percentile in the most recent year. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 3.9%, far below the district average of 7.7% and the state average of 12.0%, suggesting a highly engaging environment and strong family involvement. In the most recent school year, Creekside's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was an impressive 81.41%, significantly outpacing its direct peers like Ogletree Elementary School and Wrights Mill Road Elementary School, as well as the district average of 68.98%.

While Creekside excels in early elementary education, there are areas to watch. Its 5th-grade math proficiency (60.84%) fell below the district average (70.48%), and its 4th-grade science scores were on the lower end compared to peers. The school's overall state ranking has slipped slightly over three years, from 53rd to 68th, while nearby Wrights Mill Road has shown more stability and currently ranks 51st. Additionally, performance for military-connected students dropped dramatically to the 8th percentile in the most recent year, a significant decline from the 41st percentile the year before, suggesting a need for targeted support. Performance for students from low socio-economic backgrounds is also a relative weakness, ranking in the 73rd percentile. In contrast, the school performs exceptionally well for its multi-racial and Hispanic students, ranking in the 93rd-98th percentiles in recent years. Overall, Creekside is a strong choice for families, particularly those with English Language Learners or children entering 3rd grade, though families with students in upper grades or with military connections may want to ask the school about specific support programs.
