About Us
Indian Creek Elementary School is one of three schools in the Mother Lode Union School District. It is located adjacent to the El Dorado County Office of Education near the intersection of Missouri Flat Road and Green Valley Road in Placerville. The student population is made up of 475 kindergarten through fifth grade students. The school is identified as a high performing school by the State of California with an Academic Performance Index (API) of 843.
Besides a rigorous academic program, Indian Creek provides a number of successful programs and activities. A full day kindergarten program gives the students a strong foundation that contributes to the student’s academic and social growth. Students who need an extra boost in reading or math attend the Morning Club. Enrichment classes such as G.A.T.E., Spanish and band are offered either before or after school. The library is fully automated and contains approximately 12,000 volumes. The computer lab is available to enhance learning. Many students participate in the lunch time Intramural Sports Program.
Students at Indian Creek take an active role in county wide programs such as Oral Interpretation, Spelling Bee and G.A.T.E. competitions. Last year the fourth and fifth grade students placed first in the county wide Spelling Bee. The G.A.T.E. students won the regional competition and advanced to the state wide competition.
Parents and community members play an important role in the success of Indian Creek students. The parent organizations enrich the educational process by providing activities and funds that help support the programs available to the students. The partnership between the dedicated and hard working volunteers and staff is phenomenal.
