The Dry Creek Joint Elementary School District began in 1876, with only a few students in a schoolhouse. It is now among the fastest growing school districts in the State of California. The District has constructed new elementary schools in the past four years. Creekview Ranch Middle School was the most recent school to open in the district, first serving students for the 2008–2009 school year. It is anticipated that the District will continue to grow for the next 10 years, serving approximately 8,500 K-8 students.
