Day Creek Intermediate School

Overall, this school gets by easily. It has good teachers and HW and is trying to teach character. It supports students with learning differences very well. However, it leaves lots of room to be desired with anti-bullying and office leadership. This school has potential, but is certainly not top-dog. Overall, this school is not bad at all and I currently will recommend it. This is hugely due to the fact that there are few, if any bullies and the fact that it is in a ritzy neighborhood. However, DCIS kids are smart. The test scores speak clearly. Some can be mean, but will not go out of there way to be mean. Your child might not be fully welcomed, but the kids here are not manipulative(this is coming from a kid btw). Good luck with DCIS. From an 8th grader, 12/8/2019

This school has great potential, but the staff and administrators need to be overhauled!

Day Creek does have its flaws, like any other middle school. However, it has, in my opinion, the perfect blend of academic competition and fun. It’s an incredible school. I, myself, am a student in the graduating class. I do have to remind you not to discredit students at this school. Despite our young age (and the horrific grammar displayed by other student reviewers), I do believe that we have at least an ounce more credibility than our parent counterparts. Many times, parents get quite enraged when hearing their child’s slightly distorted complaints about their school. While some people can be jerks, the entire school has a great positive atmosphere that many people take for granted. I am proud to be a Day Creek coyote, and I hope that you see this comment out of the immense negative comments to let you know that Day Creek is a great place. Middle school is very well known to be the worst time of people’s lives, and while I cannot guarantee that won’t be true, and I can assure you that Day Creek will do its best to prevent it. Middle school is definitely tough for everyone, especially with our changing bodies and our need for self-discovery. This school will help you succeed, and it may not be perfect. But if I were to take a measure of how great this school is, I’d say about 90%. Don’t listen to those who focus on the 10%.

Do not get fool by scores. Teachers prepare kids for month for these tests. This school doesn't encourage positive attitudes, and does not have the proper budget for areas in electives, unless is music. The math teacher does science, math and art. Other schools in similar socioeconomic areas have proper art rooms and encourage learning with adequate budget in electives. Also your kids will eat lunch outside repetitively in tents set by monitors at lunch time. The school is run by an authoritative style from principal and office staff.
