Our kindergartener has become very confident in going to school and adores his teacher. Creekside does a wonderful job of creating a warm and welcoming environment. Administration and staff are responsive and take action where appropriate. The curriculum itself, leaves something to be desired. The worksheets coming home seem to be majority ‘busy work.’ If you have a child who is academically inclined, they may very well become bored.

Amazing school and staff. My kids love it here and they feel very loved and supported. The teachers are extremely well-qualified and give high-level, differentiated instruction. As a teacher myself, I have been very impressed by the quality of this school and the staff.

We love Creekside. Our son learned so much in and out of the classroom because his teachers were there to help him be successful!

I have been pleasantly surprised at how much we like Creekside given some of the reviews on greatschools and we are really glad we gave our neighborhood school a chance!

We personally very much like this .Our two daughters likes to be at school. Great teachers and staff.The caring teacher and staff understand each child's ability and strive to meet them .But still for whatever reason within years principal changes which may keep creekside from excelling.Otherwise the school is great!

Creekside has a lot of great teachers. My kids have had a good experience there. I appreciate the diversity and the PTA is excellent. For whatever reason Creekside is on its 4th principal since it opened. I think this has kept Creeksidevfrom excelling in some areas.

The school is good, not great. Homework is redundant each week, so the kids get bored. My children rarely finish lunch, because of there just isn't enough time. They've learned, but not as much as I would like for them to learn; we work with them at home just to keep their interest and skills progressing.
