Summary

Indian Creek Elementary is a public K-4 school serving 392 students in the Mother Lode Union Elementary district in Placerville, a community where school performance varies widely.

Academically, the school is rated in the 42nd percentile statewide, meaning it scores lower than average, with particular challenges in English Language Arts. However, it performs better in math compared to other schools in its own district, like Charles F. Brown Elementary. A notable bright spot is a significant improvement in student attendance, with chronic absenteeism dropping by nearly half since 2022, now better than the state average. The school operates with fewer resources per student than many nearby schools, such as Louisiana Schnell Elementary and Sierra Elementary.

When compared to other local options, Indian Creek's performance is similar to Gold Oak Elementary but significantly lower than higher-performing schools like Rescue Elementary and Green Valley Elementary. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade and shows a performance drop between 3rd and 4th grade, suggesting a need for sustained academic support as students advance.
