Mediocre at best. The teachers were caring and tried very hard to give the kids a good, well rounded education, but the cards are stacked against them. The teachers are the only redemming quality. We had to scrimp and save ever penny we have to be able to put our son in a private school because we didn’t know what else to do. We reached out for help to address the issues but it was never resolved. Our child’s education was dwindling and his self esteem almost non-existent due to bullying. He started private school this year and he is behind so many of the other students in his grade because of the (lack of) education he received at Creekside.

The office staff was horrible about giving information and about worrying about parents concerns. It was the first day of school and everyone already had horrible attitudes about it. Like I understand it's a stressful day but never make a parent feel that their child is unwelcome or unwanted! Absolutely hate it. To top things off I left voicemails for the principal to schedule a meeting and never ever got called back or talked to about my concerns.

My grandson is in third grade. Fifty plus children in the classroom...but there are two teachers (so what?). Two teachers, two different teaching styles. Fifty kids is too many for any one area.

This is an excellent school with staff that really cares about the students. There have been a few principals through the years, but the current one (Joanna Sharp) is just exceptional. The location itself is in a nice area with plenty of room for all of the kids to run and play. My daughter attends 4th grade there and my son was there from 2003-2005
