Creekside Elementary School

Lack of leadership throughout Sun Prairie School District and disregard for child safety (another active shooter report at SPHS on 09-27-2019) causes children to have severe anxiety, behavioral issues and severely inhibits learning.

Testing thresholds must have changed in the past year because when I started my daughter at Creekside earlier last year, it was a 8/10. Then it changed to 7/10 and now it's 4/10. My daughter recently scored 98th percentile for reading and 93% for math in the STAR tests. This school has been excellent for her and the classroom adapts to each individual child's level of learning. Also, the diversity of this school is beautiful. It's hard to find a school in Dane County where 50% is white and the rest is an ethnic nationality. It's a better reflection and representation of America. We love this school.

The teachers are very personable and super attentive to each students needs. As a parent of three kids with very different personalities, all teachers have been responsive to my inquiries and concerns. Our experience last year was wonderful in all grades looking forward to the start of the 2017 school year! In addition, the office staff is top notch. They know each child by name and make it a point to make a parent feel comfortable and confident in leaving kids in the care!

Huge fan of Creekside. My daughter was the first class to go through all six grades in this school when it first opened. My son is currently in fourth grade there - we turned down the opportunity to move him to Northside in favor of Creekside just this year, due to the faculty and the school itself. Creekside does an excellent job of caring for its kids and their families. It's had its share of principal turnover early on and some bumps along the way but the staff is strong and principal Jillian Block is top notch. Would highly recommend Creekside to all incoming families to Sun Prairie!
