this school is terrible. do not send your children here unless you want them to be in a ROACH INFESTED school. yes, roaches. i'm in my last year at this school and it has been the worst. i'll just be walking in the hallway and see a dead roach. i will see roaches in the ceiling lights of every classroom. that concerns me because what if roaches got in the food or roach droppings got in the food? that's always in the back of my mind when i go through the lunch line. the school food is alright, but the bread is always stale. if your child is quiet and parasocial, this school makes life even harder. in the hallways, students will push people around and scream. last year, a white student screamed the n-word in the hallway.. please do not send your child to this school.

My son went here all 3 years. We had mostly positive experinces like with the wonderful teaching staff. We really had mixed feelings about this school. The bullying was defenitly relevent in my child's daily life. And he was up for hours after bed finishing his work for most classes. As well as the school being run down their were many probloms that we faced in those three years. If they can fix up the school physically and academically mabey I would do it over agin. But untill then I say no.

Our experience was a breath of fresh air. The school administration staff was very impressive with any of our needs. The boys had great teachers, with impressive communication.

My child is my priority. The fact that he doesnt want to enroll in a private school, because it is much closer to where we live, is an attestation to his feeling and sense of belonging. His teachers are hands down, one of the best teachers you could find. I would rate this school a five stars *****

My son is gifted and he has been challenged. He is interested in what he is learning about and this motivates him even more.

The teachers are great and my son is doing very very well. This is the first time in his 6 years of schooling that he is doing this well and with an IEP...he was 2 points from honor roll which is quite an accomplishment. I applaud the efforts of every teacher...that's one tough job!! The comment from October 14, 2013 is quite concerning because my son came home just last week to inform me that bugs and cockroaches were all over the school out numbering the students and that its a big distraction in classrooms. Clealy, thorough cleaning and spraying or bombing needs to be done to correct this problem. It seems quite severe.

The school is infested with cockroaches and no one seems to care. My daughters refuses to eat there because it is so nasty. My daughters hate this school. Teachers have up to three different online sources that students have to hunt for to find homework and/or notes necessary for class. It is ridiculous! My A student is making a D because of the chaotic unorganized way this system is run. The Principal response..."This is where we are heading" My children were making A's and B's respectively at another high achieving now are struggling because Swift Creek doesn't work.
