since the new principal took over in 2022 there has been nothing but trouble. zero accountability and the new principal just hides and has zero communication with parents of the children that go there. there have been many instances of violence on the playground during lunch that the principal and the vp have just looked the other way. there was never an issue like this with the old principal. until there is change from the top, i would not send children to this school. quickly becoming one of the worst grade schools in rockford. all in less then one year of school.

Our children have attended this school for the last two years. Teachers, partners, parents and administrator have been a good influence for them. One child had speech support and the other gifted support, there were wonderful school extra activities related with sport and science and it has also been a good and strong parent communication. Very happy after all.

Overall, Spring Creek is a wonderful school. Mr. Owens (principal) is kind and approachable. He does a great job in guiding the students and showing that he sincerely cares for each and every one of them. He offers great support to any concerns parents and teachers may have. This school has a ZERO tolerance for bullying and takes offenses very seriously. Students are kind and caring to one another. 4th grade teacher, Mrs Tukker is great with students but shows signs of disconnect. I understand that security is priority and I love that about this school. However, with tight security, it makes it difficult to visit your child's classroom and/or form a relationship with the teacher on a parental level. We came from a private school where parents were always welcome and encouraged to stop by classrooms during learning. At Spring Creek, its very difficult to get passed the secretary. Studies have been shown that students do better in school when parents are active and involved. Other than that, all other experiences have been positive and I would recommend this school over nearby private schools.

My wife and I are very pleased to have our three children at Spring Creek Elementary School. This is our fourth year attending there. The teachers and the principals have been great and have fostered a positive environment for learning. I am pleased that our children are interacting with children from all types of backgrounds. I have recommended the school to my neighbors. Concerning who is writing this review, I am a Conservative Physician and my wife is in a Masters of Arts in Teaching Program. We are pleased to have our children at Spring Creek Elementary School.
