Great, engaged principal, hard working staff, good facilities. We’ve had multiple children attend and they’ve enjoyed school.

We have 3 children that are in KG, 2nd grade and 4th grade attending Creekside and are very happy with the teachers, administration and after school programs. Our kids have seen great growth in education and built solid friendships with others in the school. No school is perfect, but we would strongly recommend this school to anyone thinking about having their kids attend.

I am a teacher myself and have had two of my kids attend Creekside so far. There is no community at Creekside-there is a lack of communication and no want for the kids social emotional well being. The teachers are lacking and even the principal does not seem to take parent concerns seriously. As a parent, I feel this school is more focused on money then creating a community for the students and their families. As well, the parents are not very friendly. I will be moving my kids to a new school for this coming year.

We have two students at Creekside and feel very fortunate to be there! Our experience has been fantastic and we feel that we’re part of an engaged and supportive school family. Academic support for students is consistent and strong. The principal is very accessible and responsive. The staff is nurturing, the teacher are engaging and caring with years of solid teaching experience, and are just incredible. This elementary school is the reason that we bought a home where we did! CCSD has so many phenomenal schools but we wanted Creekside.

All 3 of my kids went to Creekside Elementary after moving here from California. It is an EXCELLENT school. My daughter had to repeat Kindergarten after leaving California. I am so glad she did. It was such an esteem building atmosphere with great teachers. The kids were always kind to my daughter and reached out to her to offer help with her learning difficulties. The teachers were so nurturing. The parent support is strong as well.

Our daughter has attended Creekside for 5 years and her experience has been great. All of her teachers have been wonderful, academically she has progressed well and she has really enjoyed the wide variety of extra curricular activities available. We have consistently had good experiences with the staff at the school and parent support is strong both through the PTCO and just volunteering in general.

My child went to this school K-5 all of her teachers were great but none where aware that she was being bullied. Also when the male principal left and thr female came in you got a different vibe. I spoke to her about my child and she seemed very blahze about yhe situation at hand. The lady in the front can be very rude and none welcoming at times. I so glad my child is done and out of Creekside.

Excellent school. Excellent administration. Outstanding PTA. This school is better than many private schools in the area. What else do you want?

Staff calls you about everything, talk to them more than I talk to my own family. Cherrycreek district office staff very rude when I put in a request to tranfer my son to another school when we moved. Seems like your child is more of a number than being viewed as a student. So glad to have my son out of there. Creekside has no backbone.

I really like the school. Some teachers are better than others but the principal is doing a good job. The PTO is very active and my kids like it there.

My child attended kindergarten and is now in first grade. I have volunteered there a couple of days and stayed throughout the day. The teachers are great and attentive to parents. The entire staff is very attentive to all kids' needs. The principal is new this year, and she seemed approachable and very dedicated to the school.

This school is the worst school I've ever had to deal with. My child was bullied and nobody at the school notified me. My child finally told me and when I told the principle about the bullying she brushed it off like it was not a big deal! Do not send your child to creekside parents are not notified of anything and your child is not safe. Very rude volunteers, staff and teachers.
