Every teacher my 3 kids have had has been helpful, attentive, kind, and generous. They are truly good people themselves. Also the vice principal is helpful and thorough, and the rest of the main office staff are friendly and work hard. I feel very fortunate that my kids all go to Bear Creek!

I absolutely love this school!!! My kids are super happy every day. This school is not just safe, fun and responsible but also bilingual. There is Not any other school that offers all this. They really care about the kids and they feel safe at their school. Keep it up Bear Creek! Thank you

Bear Creek has been rated an "Outstanding" school for the past 4 years in a row & is the only dual immersion school in Central Oregon which has a very elite waiting list. Bear Creek provides the opportunity for amazing & positive diversity for children as they begin their school career & personal lives outside of school. The staff & teachers are outstanding as well, giving children the best possible beginning in life & caring deeply for each child & their families. Our family has had so many wonderful experiences through Bear Creek & have met so many wonderful kids & families! This school definately deserves a much higher school rating!!

I absolutely Love this school, I as a child attended this school and last year my daughter attended from kinder to 3rd grade, we had to move states but we miss bear creek and all their wonderful staff and amazing principal Mr. Montoya! Just wish the district would value this school more and not just the "rich" schools.

bear creek, we miss you!!! this is the most wonderful school my children have ever been to. i never felt so welcome and some of the teachers were the nicest individuals your kids could ever hope to meet, our principle was efficient, friendly, and mostly fantastic, but i think she retired right after we left. i hope bear creek never falls victim to these other school's problems of rude teachers left unchecked, or unfair and biased principles who dont believe a word students say when theres a problem. after all, its easy to be happy and get along when everything is mary sunshine. its how we interact when we have problems that makes us worthwhile or not.

Earned Oregon's top rating, "Outstanding" on the 2009-10 Oregon Department of Education State School Report Card. Only 37% of Oregon schools earned the same rating statewide.
