as a previous student, it’s an ok school. there are a lot of teachers who really care and try their best, but it’s just so crowded. I had almost no classes with less than 30 people, with my biggest being like 40. mostly accepting if you’re in more of the nerdier/honors classes side of things, but not as much in other groups. i am still annoyed by a mindful minute where we were told to “push down the sadness and negative emotions” because ah yes great idea bottle up your feelings. the long and the short is, it’s ok as a school but very overcrowded and kinda clique-y

Creekside is an amazing school. Even with the large student population, it has a strong small town community atmosphere. The kids, teachers and staff are consistently top performers and seem to share a common goal to be the absolute best they can be.

Creekside Middle School is EXCELLENT!!! I have two children at Creekside, in 6th and 8th grades. As a parent you feel it to be a protected and safe environment. The principal is very much involved and present, with excellent supervision. The assistant principals, the counselors and teachers are also fabulous! The honors classes and the most highly advanced math classes are appropriately challenging and give my children a wonderful opportunity. They very much enjoy the athletics program, the athletics director and coaches are wonderful, including tennis, track, cross country, basketball, etc. The band program is very strong with so much dedication from the director, very impressive. If you are moving to the area, feel reassured to send your children to Creekside, I would especially recommend the honors/advanced classes. We have had no concerns with the school size, the class sizes are appropriate. My children come home happy and ready to tell me about the fun things they encountered and like to go to this school. Is as fine as the private schools in the area.

My son is an 8th grader and has had wonderful teachers every year. It is a very big middle school & is actually above capacity but this doesn't seem to affect actual class sizes. There are all kinds of extra activities for the kids, clubs galore. I volunteer so I get a good view of what goes on and it seems like a really good atmosphere. My son has been happy in his 2 1/2 years here & is looking forward to the rest of the year.

Excellence is the only way to describe this school. My son has spent a year here, and the teachers, staff and student body are nothing but the best. This is a blue ribbon school, and for good reason. They have an excellent and challenging honors program! And the principal is a strong motivator and very hands on. I highly recommend this school. Excellence in the highest.

This school has an outstanding curriculum with dedicated teachers. I highly recommend this school for parents. Did not see over crowding in the classrooms as someone else mentioned, so maybe that has been addressed.

This school is overall good, but there are some really mean teachers. I'm not going to say the name or gender. complains for the smallest reasons, TALKS BEHIND MY CHILD'S BACK ABOUT HIM, and many more. Senior's even say that the teacher is bad, and choose's by favorites. That's not fair.

I am in 7th grade at Creekside and i couldn't be happier. The teachers are extremely nice, but strict when they have to be. Although there are a lot of kids in this creekside (over 1400) it is easy to get used to and easy to make friends. I would recommend this school to anyone and everyone!

There are some excellent, dedicated teachers at Creekside. Unfortunately, the school is very overcrowded and this has caused the quality of the education and attention to students to suffer.
