This was my first elementary school until I moved to Pennsylvania. It had great teachers when I went there and I am sure they have ones now that are just as great. I haven't went to school there in about 4 years since I will be in 8th grade this coming school year of 2009 and 2010. But still, I am postive

I continue to be pleased with the Town Creek Elementary, and both my children enjoy their every moment at school. For 2006-2007 Town Creek once again out performed all the other local elementary schools in the region with an MSA of 91.2% for the 3rd grade both in math and reading. For 4th and 5th grade
... Read more Town Creek had a math MSA of 96.8 and 98% respectively. You can see it for yourself at http://www.msp.msde.state.md.us/. Another advantage of Town Creek school is it's small size. Everyone knows everyone else by their name, from the principal to the cafeteria manager, to all the teachers. This provides a feeling of belonging and enhances the children's learning experience. Our son just finished kindergarten and our daughter finished 2nd grade. Looking forward to another exciting and fruitful year at Town creek next year. Thanks to all that make Town Creek Elementary a great school, from the parents who devote their time in PTA activities to all the teachers and staff. Daniel Motamed Read less

The smallness, on the other hand, is what made the school so terrific. We only wish the middle and high schools in the area could be so great! Read less
