Rock Creek School, located in North Auburn, was selected as a California Distinguished School in 1997. This singular distinction reflects the ongoing commitment that is shared by parents and staff to ensure that all students are successful, lifelong learners. Although Rock Creek School was originally built in 1965, the classrooms and computer lab were modernized in 2003 followed by the administration building and multipurpose room which were completed in 2006. The school serves Kindergarten through fifth grade students. Partnerships between school and community organizations offer additional programs such as the Life Lab and Community Garden.
