A little boy was playing and kicked my daughter. My daughter was playing and hit him back. My daughter was sent out of her classroom for hitting the boy back. The principal called me to let me know that she talked with my daughter about hitting. The principal stated they both were playing. The principal didn't tell me the whole story of how she interrupted my daughter's lunch, had her take her lunch tray in her office and talk with her then 2hrs later. That was so unnecessary and this us not the first incident concerning my daughter. The district office have been informed several times about many other incidents and they will be informed again. I will be notified first before my child will be sent anywhere. She was already sent to another class. And the little boy's parents take pictures for the school but she is going to tell my daughter if she hit someone in middle school it will be assault. Well the little boy kicked my daughter. He assaulted my daughter Katy Yeargin since you want to talk about assault. I will be contacting the school district again. It have been so many complaints!!!!!!!! My child will not sit in no one's office until I am called first not after the fact. No one will say anything to my child without me being present. Any situation you let me know I'm the parent not after the fact so I can come to the school then. If you have the time to talk to my child, you have the time to talk to me and she have been told moving forward any other incident "call my mom"!!!!!!

We pulled our child from the school and are doing home school because the school and the district allowed bullying and violence to be in the classroom. Making it unsafe for children and my child in preschool not wanting to go. He was so excited about school and just after one year of students throwing chairs, hitting, and biting he doesn’t want to go. Multiple parents talked to the principal and district with no change and still allowing the bullies to be in class. Kids should not have to be worried if they are going to get hit or have to get stitches when they go to school. My child had no progress at the end of the year and the teacher even said they did not get the education because they had to deal with 4 kids that misbehaved. Where is the principal and the district to fix this or give the money to those that chose to homeschool instead of sending them to this school to get hurt and not be taught.

Our son has been going to Euchee creek since he was in Kindergarten. I am absolutely loving the school, the teacher's,the principal, the diversity, and just overall the school is amazing. It feels like a little family. My child had wonderful teachers , he is in 4th Grade now.

I had two of my own children here for a couple of years. I even had a few foster children attend and the school was super responsive when bringing one of my new foster children in to get them settled in. Additionally they were able to accommodate any learning plans that transferred from other schools. Overall, outstanding staff and group of teachers. Really going to miss this school.

1. My child misses her bus home and no one seems to be to blame even though they say she was just sitting at her desk. So someone was to blame they just all left! Not a safe school for any kid

My daughter went here from 1st-5th grade, we love the school and all of the staff. I never had any issues at the school. They go above and beyond to make sure kids succeed.

Great school. Teachers are very good with communicating. They have a great enrichment program called clusters where the kids can get involved and learn about different things such as woodworking and CSI. The principal herself is always out in the morning helping kids in the car line and after school. Every other parent I have talked to who also have kids here have had a good experience.

I am mostly pleased with the school. My primary concerns are with communication. The prinicipal seems to be more of a PR rep than an educator. She's friendly and seems to try, but it seems she spends most of her time doing damage control instead of proactively attacking issues. I have noticed that there is some animosity between the staff and that some issues don't make it to the principal as the assistant principal steps in. All of the teachers are friendly and one of the front office staff personnel is, while the rest come across brash and rude. I have also noticed an uneven approach to photo identification when picking up students, though that seems to be improving. My kids have wonderful teachers and I'm beyond impressed with what they have learned. I also appreciate the programs the school has available to students. Overall, the primary educators are wonderful with the front office staff needing some improvements.

I am completely fed up with this school. my second grader has been there for a week and they have already discriminated against her disability and ignored her special needs and not given her the help she needs. in addition, they dropped her off at the wrong bus stop halfway across town. I do not recommend this school at all.

Sending my child to this school was not my choice. Due to zoning rules, I have to send my child to this school. The principal is snobby and rude, and I am really shocked that someone like this works with children. Luckily we are only stationed here for 2 more years, and then I can get my child away from this environment. Aside from the fact that they aren't following her IEP (which is something they have to follow per federal regulations) but they also treat my child like a complete inconvenience due to the IEP. Not happy with this school at all, and it just makes our time left here that much worse.

I am exhilarated for my two children to start their second year at Euchee Creek Elementary. We are military and this is the fifth school they have attended. T the beginning last school year I just thought my kids really lucked out with great teachers that year. After volunteering some and gettin to know the staff I quickly realized that all the teachers are pretty amazing. They are a huge family... and that extends to the children! I can not speak highly enough about the staff. They are highly focused on creating a fun, creative and motivating system! They love encouraging their children to be excited about learning!! They should be rewarded for their efforts to reward good behavior instead of only monitoring bad behavior. This school is on a roll!! I say they should go full steam ahead in their intended path. My kids and their friends are excited for school to start because they MISS THEIR TEACHERS and are looking forward to earning their E-Tickets for good behavior. The music teacher is so happy to share the love of song and rythem. They have a rotating schedule of afterschool activities. The Euchee Creek Elementary staff truly are EGINEERING SUCCESS!!

Not my choice. With limited selections and school zoning rules I had to send my children to this school. I was not very pleased.

Euchee creek is Engineering Success!! This sweet school is the only Elemenatry school in Columbia county that I would allow to teach my children. I am welcomed anytime I enter the building, the employees (not only teachers)know me and my babies and I know they are always safe and ready to learn. I expect the utmost respect from my children and so do the great folks at ECE!! I love this school and would recommend buying a home in this area just so your children can attend school here. ECE rocks!!

My child's teacher never responds to my emails or written messages I send into the school. Bad communication by these teachers.

This school is all about lots of talk and no action. This school does not take parental concerns seriously. They like to say things to pacify you for the moment let you know a situation will be taken care of but they don't follow through. Many incidents in the past 2 years have scared me about the safety of my children at this school. I wish we could choose where our kids can go to school because this school wouldn't be my choice. Unfortunately private school and such is not an option. I wish that it was. We need a better assistant principal and better 5th grade teachers. Shame on them

very unfriendly school, no activities for children like cedar ridge...and the lack of want to teach kids to speak the proper way in very disappointing, just because we are in the south do we have to talk so uneducated?

I AM DISGRACED BY A SCHOOL THAT TEACHES CHILDREN TO USE THE WORD "FIXING" INCORRECTLY...LIKE THE CLASS IS FIXING TO GO TO ART... THAT IS NOT PROPER AND IS CONSIDERED SLANG WHERE I COME FROM. YOU DO NOT FIX TO GO SOMEWHERE, FIX IS WHAT YOU DO WHEN SOMETHING IS BROKEN
