Full stars all the way. I'm SO glad we got our son into Abbott's Creek in Kindergarten. He's a fifth grader this year, and I fully believe the teachers there have been instrumental in his personal growth. They actively partner with the parents, connect with the kids, and create a wonderful learning environment. I cannot day enough great things about this school.

My son goes to that school since 1st grade now he is in 4th grade. It is a beautiful, clean and very pleasant school. The staff that work there are top notch, the headmistress Mrs Trathan and all the teachers do a great job. My son loves his school.

My son is entering his 3rd year at Abbott's Creek and I couldn't be happier with the overall experience. From top-to-bottom the staff has been friendly and easy to communicate with, which is especially important to us, as my son has some special needs. The teachers/counselors have been fantastic in working to accommodate those needs while still enabling him to be integrated with the rest of the class.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend Abbots Creek. My child was a new student, he is very smart (he was in the gifted program) he is a kind a well educated child that had a terrible experience with being bullied in this school. The bullies were not new students, and even so the principal called me twice to yell at me and the first time she couldn’t tell me why my child was envolved in a fight with one of the bullies ( my son told me that he was trying to protect himself from the slams of the other child), the second time was a different situation but she couldn’t give me an explanation either. My son stoped participating in class, he was crying and getting anxious frequently. The teacher and counselor were kind but unfortunately that didn’t help and I had to pull out my child from school.

My daughter has been going to this school since kindergarten and I love how she is learning and how everyone knows her name and she is using vocabulary words that an 8yr old usually doesn’t know! Kudos to all the staff!!

My daughter is in 1st grade and loves going to school. She is excited to read when she gets home. The school is bright and clean, and feels very well cared for.

My kid went to this school for a brief time and we had to move to other state bcoz of my work.We loved the school and the staff. There is a noticeable difference in our kid academic both academically and in social behavior. The best part I like is the way they try to make the kid develop the habit of reading books.

Relocated here the day before Christmas break in December 2015. Ms. Barbara, Registrar, stayed late to enroll my children in school so they could start immediately after the break. She even took the time to give us a tour of the school the same day! This was my first experience with ACE and I was extremely impressed! My encounters with the rest of the staff have followed suit. Principal Trantham and other staff members greet the students and parents each morning. They really strive to build relationships with each student and their families. I have a daughter that is enrolled in Speech Therapy and I have seen a significant improvement in her overall speech and communication skills. I have built a good repoire with each of my children's teachers during both school years that we have been here. Great school and staff!

This is the second year that my children have attended Abbotts Creek. We couldn't be happier there. The entire staff are amazing and they have created a wonderful environment for the kids to grow and learn. The building is bright and clean and the there's plenty of room for the kids to run and play outside. We love Abbotts Creek!
