Creekside Charter
#249 Best Public Elementary Schools in California
Parent: Creekside has strong academics, but what sets it apart is the flexibility. Many kids pursue sports like skiing or kayaking, and travel to compete. Other families like to spend part of the year in Tahoe, and part of the year in Mexico or traveling with their family. They are able to take their school work with them, and even present to their class about what they are learning during their travels. It's a small school so it is a strong, supportive community. There is no shortage of outdoor hands-on learning experiences. There is even an outdoor classroom. We have independent study every Friday as well, and many kids do enrichment class together instead - rockclimbing, hiking, skiing, and taking advantage of the beautiful location.
