Crooked Creek is a wonderful place for children to learn. I had the good fortune to work there for 8 weeks in multiple classrooms / settings. The staff are dedicated, caring and have the students at the forefront of their efforts. Great leadership also - with an awesome support team. New MSDWT building updates are great too. The staff got their 'back to school' plan spot on following nearly a year of 'remote learning'. CC is a truly special place.

Crooked Creek is a great school school in a supportive community. The Crooked Creek staff embraces the diverse learners that they serve. With more state funding, they could provide even more opportunities for students beyond the traditional school day.

Crooked Creek is an amazing place to be! The teachers are some of the best professionals I have seen. They embrace every student and culture who comes in the door. I would put my own child in any of the classrooms because I know that the teachers want what is best for every individual. They get to know the students and their families and build strong relationships with them. The administration works very closely with families and students, so they are in classes and ready to learn. The teachers are lifelong learners who embrace new information and professional development. Crooked Creek is a model school!

My husband and I were in a real quandary when the time came to decide where our daughter would attend Kindergarten. She was already attending preschool in an affluent suburb which boasts some of the best schools in the state. It would have seemed the easy choice to move away from Indy as so many do, except that we didn't feel the community's values were a match with our family's, and didn't want to have to "unteach" what she'd pick up socially/culturally. On the other hand, many schools in Indianapolis are quite troubled, and we weren't about to sacrifice our child's quality of education either. Crooked Creek is our perfect answer. They embrace racial, religious, and socioeconomic diversity, create a sense of community and genuine warmth, appreciate parent involvement, and set very high expectations for their students. I can't speak too much about the IB program yet because we've just begun that journey, but so far our child loves learning concepts along with facts, and is excited about learning Mandarin too. I would recommend Crooked Creek to anyone who wants an exceptional alternative to moving to the 'burbs for better schools.

While I have been a Crooked Creek Parent, the teachers have been excellent in setting high expectations for my child and communicating with parents. There are plenty of volunteer opportunities for parents, including, PTA, sports, classroom volunteer, school events, etc. The school and school district typically provides fun events to allow your child to interact with friends outside of the classroom. Parents are welcome to enter into the classroom at any point in time during the day. Parents have daily communication on your child's behavior and academic effort through student folders. Parent s notices and letters are provided weekly by both the teacher and the principal. The principal reviews EVERY student s report card and writes notes to the student and/or the parents regarding academic achievement for that grading period. Community partnerships allow for the school to provide awards for Honor Roll students and attendance. Parents have access to teacher s emails and teachers respond within one business day. The school is a great place if you are a parent that would like to be actively involved in your child's learning process and enjoy supporting school activities.
