I highly recommend having a lawyer on speed dial if your child attends this school. Especially to ensure accurate and unbiased records are being kept. Accountability is elusive and paper trials are curated with precision to shield the administration from scrutiny. Expect a tightly controlled narrative that (conveniently) omits key context, concerns, and evidence provided from the student/parent. Don’t believe me? Ask to review official records. Unfortunately, you cannot assume good faith. Decisions affecting student outcomes can be made without transparency, communication, or compassion. Critical meetings are rushed, imbalanced and tightly controlled - leaving families outnumbered, and little to no room for true advocacy or protection. In my experience, they have documented exaggerated or false claims in official records, denied parents access to Zoom recordings of key meetings, and more. If you believe the school district will act as an unbiased party, don’t be fooled. They rely solely on the school’s internal narrative- ignoring concerns brought by parents or students altogether. In my case, legal safeguards were sidestepped entirely to reach a predetermined outcome. Transparency and fairness? Nowhere to be found.Unless your child has a very strong adult advocate, they may have no real shot at justice within these walls. I urge any parent (especially those with an IEP, 504, or any emotional/behavioral challenges) to bring third-party advocates and legal counsel to any meetings. Record all communications and request everything in writing. At this school, documentation is weaponized, not used as a safeguard. And without legal eyes on every detail, children easily become the scapegoat for the school and system’s failures.

We’ve had two children attend Curlew Creek Elementary, one who has already graduated and another currently in 4th grade, and our experience has been nothing short of amazing. In all our years at the school, we have never had a negative experience with a teacher or staff member. Every teacher and administrator we’ve encountered genuinely cares about what is best for each child and works hard to support their unique needs.One of the things that makes Curlew Creek so special is the strong sense of community. There are many involved families who support the teachers and hold their children accountable for learning and education. The PTA is very active and plans wonderful events like Trunk or Treat and the Carnival that bring families together and make the school experience even more memorable.The administration is always available, responsive, and supportive. Most importantly, the teachers at Curlew Creek are exceptional. I would confidently put the quality of our teachers up against any public, private, or charter school in the area. We truly have the absolute best teachers at Curlew Creek, and we feel incredibly fortunate to be part of this school community!

This is a terrible school, kids here are getting bullied to the piunt where they are trying to get transfered but other schools wont accept them becuase this school doesnt teach them enough. They need to worry more abiut their students mental health and focus more on anti bullying. This school is awful.
