I have two children at Swift Creek, now in 4th and 5th but have been there since they were 1st and K. We LOVE it! The teachers, principal, and all supporting staff are wonderful- my kids are thriving and have many opportunities to excel and do more. PBIS (Positivity Project) is emphasized here and the teachers seem to really care and are very responsive to all my communications. I think the low scores must be due to the diversity and obstacles encountered with ESL? I happen to think the diversity present at SCES is awesome and teaches my children acceptance and kindness better than they could learn at a school with less. I cannot recommend SCES enough!

I have had 3 kids go through Swift Creek Elementary... my last is in 5th grade now. I have always throught of SCES as a hiden gem - it is not a huge school and all the teachers know all the kids. I think so many of us are so happy at SCES and don't think about writing a review here. I know I didn't until our PTA recommended it - took me till the 3rd kid was almost done to do it! :-) I highly recommend SCES !

My daughter loves Swift Creek and i am surprised at the low rating on this site. We have been there since kindergarten till now - 3rd grade and the classrooms are diverse and the children are so kind to one another- she has never experienced bullying here but has experienced it at summer camps. She was able to handle herself from what she was taught at swift creek. She has loved all of her teachers and so many great involved parents are there as well.

Swift Creek is a wonderful, caring school. It is a close community in which my students are known and appreciated for who they are. The teachers truly care for each student and the entire school continually seeks ways to grow and provide for the students and their families.
