What people are saying

Saturday, January 6, 2018

The best thing about Creek is the staff. They are invested in the success of each student and the best of less than ideal circumstances. While this is an intermediate school it is a middle school. My child has 11 different teachers. Developmentally most 9-12 year olds are just not ready for middle school. This leads to extra, unnecessary stresses for staff and students. If logistics allowed for a more developmentally appropriate school structure I would rate this school as excellent. However, the staff are amazing and help ease some of the other issues. Close Quote
