The newest school is Quarry Trail Elementary school in the Whitney Ranch area, which opened for students in August 2022.

History

In 2008, a grades 7–12 charter school called Western Sierra Collegiate Academy requested twice of Rocklin Unified School District for permission to use its facilities at either Whitney or Rocklin High School. An August 20 district board meeting, the Rocklin Unified School District's trustees unanimously denied the charter school the permission it sought. Superintendent Kevin Brown backed the district's decision. The administration of the district's charter Rocklin Academy, however, supported the creation of what would be the district's fourth charter school. Rocklin Academy brought the matter to the California Department of Education, which deliberated on 12 March 2009. The academy was approved, and was able to rent space previously occupied by Sierra Christian Academy. This location was chosen due to RUSD's intransigence in providing suitable facilities, the need to begin the 2009/2010 school year, and to stay within budget for facilities rental. Both Rocklin Academy campuses are tenants of Rocklin School District, paying fair market rates for schools that would otherwise be generating debt, rather than revenue. WSCA sought to be a paying tenant as well.

Elementary schools

Antelope Creek Elementary School

In October 1991, the school's name was approved as Antelope Creek Elementary School by the school board thanks to the Name that School Comimittee, an organization which was tasked with collecting input from the public to determine what the new school should be named. Amongst others, one seriously considered alternative name was 49er Elementary. It opened in August 1992.
