Cedar Creek is the smallest of the Eanes ISD elementaries, and the best (although all campuses are rated exemplary). Cedar Creek has a friendly, social vibe among parents; a diverse & welcoming group of kids; and above all -- a huge commitment to academic excellence. The teachers take their jobs very

Another thing I love is the full time art and music teachers who go above & beyond -- incl. school choir, public art shows, etc. We strongly considered sending our kids to St. Andrew's Episcopal (they were even accepted, etc) but opted to give Cedar Creek a try -- now years later, our 3rd child is still there and we have loved every minute. It's a wholesome, challenging fun environment. Read less

A very good school which benefits greatly from the dedication of the parent community to education. The teachers are very good, but not exceptional. As with most schools these days, they are overly concerned with their 'Blue Ribbon' status than on true 'learning'. The principal is dedicated, but willing

We started Cedar Creek this year and love it. I have two children who are very different and they are both excelling in the school. The whole school makes it a priorty to learn the names of the students quickly. Within the first 3 days, all the specialist (i.e.music, pe, etc) knew my children's name.

I do not feel that there is a whole lot of extracurricular activities after school that is sponsored by the school. Chess club is done during lunch along with other activities. I do think something can be improved there but overall, I am VERY impressed. Read less
I am highly impressed with the Cedar Creek staff, especially in the areas of special needs. However, it is obvious they have to battle economic issues to get the best education for the special needs students, especially when trying inclusion, while those in regular classrooms do extremely well. Overall,

There are plenty of extra-curricular activities for normally-developing and somewhat challenged students, and the students' attitudes toward each other (including special needs kids) is heartwarming. Parent involvement through the booster club and other volunteer opportunities, as well as with their own children, is high. Read less

As the parents of a transfer student, we are extremely lucky to have our son in Eanes ISD and, especially, Cedar Creek. The faculty, staff, and facilities are fantastic. There is a true feeling of community at the school and the principal goes out of her way to know each child's name, grade, and parent(s).
