Summary

Roseland Creek Elementary is a K-6 public school in Santa Rosa serving 534 students in the high-need Roseland district, where academic performance has been a significant and persistent challenge.

The school's test scores in English, math, and science are well below state averages and also lower than other schools in its own district, like Sheppard Elementary and Roseland Elementary, despite similar student demographics. A striking comparison is with the nearby Robert L. Stevens Elementary, which achieves much higher academic results with a similar student population, showing that improvement in the area is possible. While chronic absenteeism at Roseland Creek has improved from pandemic highs, it remains an issue, and the school spends less per student than many surrounding schools.

Despite the school's overall low ranking, it shows notable strengths in supporting specific student groups, with its programs for English Language Learners and students receiving special education services ranking above average statewide. This suggests there are effective practices within the school that could be built upon. The school's performance has declined over the past decade, indicating a need for sustained, strategic changes to help all students succeed.

I am proud to work at Roseland Creek Elementary because we put just as much of an emphasis on social emotional well being as we do on the academic progress of our students. When you walk around our school, it truly feels like we are all a family that is working together to help our students on their JOURNEY to higher education AND in their development as well balanced humans!

Don’t let our rating fool you, Roseland Creek is one of the best elementary schools around. Our staff is the most dedicated, caring and accomplished anywhere, and our students are absolutely amazing. Our rating is skewed because in addition to our general education classes, we also proudly serve all of our district’s full day special education students who also take state tests. This makes our scores look lower than they would be otherwise, but that’s OK, because being at Roseland Creek with our team is what’s best for all students. Please visit our website for more information, and please feel invited to come visit or ask me about our amazing school anytime! William Nilsen Close Quote
