But when it come to be fair and tactful on how they treat parents and students they are below average. I will not recommend Creech School. I am Planning to move my daughter to another

This is my children first year at Creech Road. They came from a magnet school as their base school but were reassigned to a year around school. Creech Road was the closest school to us on a traditional calendar. Thus far I'm pleased. Incident on bus was handled promptly by Ms. Ellington. Incident

My child just completed his kindergarten year and I was impressed with the level of commitment of his teachers, the principal and many of the staff. I agree that they are caring teachers restricted by budgetary constraints and challenged by a student population with widely varying needs. I do think

Although my husband has also observed some teachers who have appeared 'burned out'. We as parents also need to take responsibility - Creech has one of the lowest parent participation in PTA that I have ever encountered - I believe it was 6 in 2004-2005, and is somewhat improved this year. It is amazing the disparity amongst schools in the same county in terms of resources and monetary support!!!! I have great respect for the staff! Read less

I think that parents sometimes send their children to school and expect the teachers and administrators to work miracles. I have had a wonderful experience with my children attending Creech Road. I have had two children graduate from Creech Road and are in AG classes in middle school. They scored

My daughter was in the third grade this past school year and was really stressing about the EOG test. She had support from her teacher, myself and my husband. In the end she scored really well on her EOG test. Before we are quick to be so critical of the school and administration, we need to check ourselves. Read less

I would not recommend sending your child to Creech Road Elementary school. The quality of academic programming is less than desirable; little concern shown for progress of children. Teachers pass along instructions and it is left up to the parent to teach skills. The potential of our child seemed largely
... Read more ignored, therefore his potential was never reached at Creech. Teachers were not responsive to my e-mails, notes, etc. Much effort went into establishing rapport with teachers... information was not passed along in a way that promoted growth of the child. Before and After School programs are useless... children ran absolutely wild and there is no structure. We have been unable to transfer our child to another school so I had to move out of the district. Unfortunately, we had three years of experience at Creech and I was mostly disgusted and very dissatisfied with leadership. Read less

Children learn at Creech Elementary that you can be picked on and nothing will be done about it. If the child reports that someone is picking on them, they get in trouble or told to 'shut-up, we don't want to hear about it.' Many students are stressing about returning to school the next day because

I would not recommend sending your child to Creech Road Elementary. The administration seems to be clueless and are never on the same page.

If a kindergarten child is a high achiever, he or she will become bored with the curriculum because the majority of the students have behavioral problems or they did not receive structured learning prior to coming to school. I am very disappointed with Creech Road. Read less
