Bear Creek is an okay school. The teachers care about helping students and are always ready to answer questions. There are also lots of clubs and sports to join, which helps students make friends and have fun.The students are friendly, and many feel like they belong. The school tries to create a good environment and listens to student feedback.While it has some challenges, like crowded classrooms, Bear Creek is a place where students can learn and grow. It may not be perfect, but it supports its students well.

Learning: The teachers help me with things I don't understand. Like in math, I got from a D to an A. As somebody with autism, Special Education helps me with my things and speech issues and ways to talk to students without being weird. A lot of them are pretty nice and understanding of issues overall.The school is not necessarily safe, even if the teachers are nice, a lot of them can't control the classroom and fights break out. At least they are quick to stop it. The kids are sometimes mean, but most are pretty accepting of other students they don't know. I am pretty sure that they do this for students who need extra help as they ask for what is up when issues occur at school. The school is okay, as long as you can deal with some of the annoying students and don't push them, you should be okay.

My son had an amazing first grade year here I wish I could say teachers names he was the best. As we went into second grade year every thing changed his teacher made life hard, continuously singling my son out, his grades were dropping, we had a meeting and he was failing at all in class work not homework but in class work it literally took us parents and the vice principal to suggest proper tools to help him but mind you his second grade teacher is going on to be a principal…. During our parent teacher conference I requested my son have more assistance due to him falling behind and his testing dropping it was getting to the point my son just genuinely hated school this woman just made his day to day life so miserable. When I made the request she told me we were not quite there yet but when I brought it to the vice principals attention to get the help all of a sudden she took credit and acted as if she was on the same page. When I tell you the entire year from start to finish was an issue from getting makeup work, to communication it got to the point why was my son even there? I even requested a new teacher but classes were full the principal gave me half solutions with no action behind them just empty words on the other end I think he knew he was leaving the school as well so he didn’t care just wanted me to be civil we also decided to move out of the area. What really drove me is they became so focused on attendance when my son was crying about how he was being treating I was literally losing sleep at night on sending him to school the days I would make him go he would try and sit with his 1st grade teacher the only reason I didn’t pull him was because at this point we were so close to the end of the year it seemed relentless. I have older children almost graduating students and out of all the years I’ve been dealing with schools this was most definitely our worst experience. It’s just unfortunate when you do get that one bad no one helps or cares the staff comes before the students. What put icing on the cake for me was my son ended up with a 1 day suspension for literally helping his friend who was punched in the face and ended up with a bloody nose. The child who hit my son’s friend my son pushed out of the way to check on his friend when that boy stood up he started punching my son in the back of his head and neck my son said “hey stop let’s get a teacher” upon doing so my son gets suspended for starting a fight.
