Maple Creek Elementary

Maple Creek Elementary sits in the northeastern corner of Fresno, in the kind of newer, planned neighborhood where tree-lined streets give way to parks and cul-de-sacs — a pocket of the city that feels more like a suburb than the urban core. As part of Clovis Unified, one of the more respected districts in the Central Valley, the school draws families who prioritize strong academics in a community-minded setting, and the test scores back that up across English, math, and science. It's a solid choice for families planting roots in this part of Fresno, where the foothills aren't far and the school community tends to be active and engaged.
