My son is in kindergarten this year at Mill Creek and LOVES it. The teachers, principal and staff create a positive, uplifting and rewarding environment for students. There is great parent involvement and support for this school. We are grateful our son gets to attend Mill Creek!

I'm torn on the school because I am a parent and have substituted at the school. I always enjoyed picking up assignments at the high school because the students are very engaging, intelligent and kept me on my toes. The staff are welcoming and helpful, but appear very stressed and bounded. They've expressed how they are truly not free to teach their curriculum, their way and find they have become more of a babysitter/counselor as opposed to a teacher. When the pandemic hit and the school district responded hastily with restrictions, I stopped substituting.As a parent of a student on the spectrum, they were on top of assisting my daughter with learning aids in certain subjects and even taking them away when they see she's improved. She never had issues with bullying or any other social issues, but she's observed other injustices toward other students and teachers. A little before the pandemic occurred, my daughter withdrew herself and began homeschooling, due to the environment getting unruly and just didn't feel safe anymore.

Kid and teens are disrespectful and nothing is done to rein them in. It’s disgusting.
