School Overview

Tucked into the forested foothills of El Dorado County, Gold Oak Elementary serves families who've traded suburban sprawl for a quieter, small-town life in the Placerville area — think apple orchards, Gold Rush history, and kids who grow up with a little more room to roam. The school sits in the middle of the pack academically, with science being a relative strength, which fits well in a community surrounded by nature and outdoor learning opportunities. Families drawn to a tight-knit rural school community, where teachers tend to know every kid by name, will likely feel right at home here.
