Back Creek Elementary School

About Back Creek Elementary School:

Back Creek Elementary School is located on seven acres of land in the Southwest section of Roanoke County. The present building was constructed in 1937. Additions to this structure were completed in 1959, 1970, 1989 and 1994. The 1989 construction included a complete renovation of the entire building as well as an addition which doubled the size of the school making Back Creek one of the most modern school facilities in Roanoke County. The 1994 construction added six new classrooms, four upstairs and two downstairs.

The school is fortunate to be part of a strong community with outstanding PTA support which serves the school immeasurably through an exceptional volunteer program and with contributions of materials and equipment for all of our programs. We firmly believe children receive a better education when the school and parents work as partners and constantly strive to have the best possible communication between home and school.

Back Creek has an enrollment of approximately 300 students in grades K-5. The staff consists of 13 classroom teachers and resource personnel in the following areas: library, reading, physical education, music, guidance, art and special education (learning disabilities). The student/teacher ratio at Back Creek is approximately 20 to 1. We are a performance based school with self-contained classrooms in grades K-5; however, we are semi-departmentalized in grades 1-5. Back Creek students attend Cave Spring Junior High School for grades 6-9 and Cave Spring High School for grades 10-12.
