We currently have a 2nd and a 5th grader who have both attended MCA since kindergarten. We’ve been so fortunate that our children have had nothing but positive experiences with our school. The dedicated staff genuinely cares about each child's individual needs. They foster a love for learning through engaging and innovative teaching methods, making education both fun and impactful. My children have thrived academically and socially, thanks to the supportive atmosphere and strong sense of community.Additionally, the school offers a variety of extracurricular activities that enrich the students' experience and encourage them to explore their interests. I appreciate the emphasis on character development, as my children are learning the values of respect, responsibility, and teamwork.Overall, MCA has exceeded our expectations, and I feel fortunate to be part of such a wonderful school community. I highly recommend it to any parents looking for a positive educational experience for their children!

We've had children in Mill Creek Academy (former Mill Creek Elementary) since 2015. It has been a great experience with dedicated teachers and top tier administration.

This school has been a downward spiral since the first time my son got there he would show up with bruises crying as well he would tell me "I'm getting picked on mommy I don't wanna go to school" I called the school and they did nothing I would not recommend this school

We've been at this school 7 years, also we currently have Kindergartner, and it's been a very positive experience. Our kids are getting a great education. Especially our dyslexic one who's needed allot of interventions that thankfully have been exceptionally successful!

If your child is a student that can just "Sit and get," then this is a great school, unfortunately for us, our child is not so the experience as been an uphill battle.

I don't know how to rate this school. We have so many people who hate for no reason at all or for reasons that don't make sense. Like the color of our skin.

Mill Creek is an awesome school. The principal that has been there for around 6 years has made such a difference. She is so caring and somehow not only knows all of the students by name but is aware of there needs and journey. The teachers my kids have experienced have been top notch and help my children grow not only in academics but their character as well. We love Mill Creek!

The teachers are very negative, rude, and sarcastic to students. Teachers appear burned out and have very negative attitudes. This negativity greatly impacts the dynamics inside the classroom. Teachers punish the whole classroom for behavioral problems of a few children. Communication between staff and parents is almost nonexistent.

My daughter is in 1st grade here and I can't wait to get her out. We moved into this area for the "great" schools, but have been very disappointed. Your child does not get any attention unless they act out and have disciplinary issues. My daughter is in a class where children swear, run around and act very poorly. My daughter comes home in tears way too often. She does not receive the academic attention that she needs because of the issues within the classroom. Recently she had an incident where she and another student bumped into each other on the playground. I was not called by the school nurse. My daughter developed an abscess in her mouth from the incident. We will be moving her to a private school for 2nd grade.

Great school, great teachers! Very glad with the school. Keep the good work! Also like the new system for drop off.

My three children have all attended Mill Creek. We've had a great experience. The new principal who came to the school in 2011 is fabulous. I have seen improvements in my children's academic skills, and their teachers have always had an open door policy. The Pre-K program is great. I can't believe how much my 4-year-old is doing!
