Summary

Riego Creek Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 693 students in the Roseville City Elementary district, consistently earning a 4-star rating and performing above state averages in core subjects.

The school has notable strengths, including exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide, and a dramatic improvement in student attendance, reducing chronic absenteeism from 31.9% to 9.3% in just a few years. Academically, it shows a distinct pattern where students perform very well in 4th grade but experience a significant drop in 5th grade math scores, a trend more pronounced here than at neighboring schools like Junction Elementary or Diamond Creek Elementary. Within its own district, Riego Creek ranks in the middle tier compared to peers such as Orchard Ranch Elementary and Blue Oaks Elementary.

While the school's overall performance is solid, there is variability in outcomes for different student groups, and its science proficiency lags behind the district average. The school's per-student spending is mid-range within the district, and it operates in a high-performing educational community where schools in other districts, like Rocklin Academy Gateway, achieve higher scores. For parents, Riego Creek represents a school with clear successes in specific areas but also identifiable challenges, particularly in maintaining academic momentum into the 5th grade.
