All 3 of my children have attended Brush Creek Elementary. It is a highly effective and very warm place for elementary children. Headed by an outstanding, innovative principal, the school was one of the first in the county to have a "no daily homework" policy, focusing on science lead understanding that daily homework for young children is ineffective. The teachers are passionate about the success of each child, creating differentiated learning plans for students with unique needs, not just because they have a learning plan in place. Classroom sizes are modest, and in school specials are varied and impressive: art, music, technology, PE, STEAM (just to name a few). STEAM combines innovation to problem solving, and students are offered "tinker stations" for exploring new ideas and thinking about how to solve given problems.Above all, the character of this school shines through. Bobacat characteristics are celebrated in every way, with positive reinforcement of public announcements when students display these characteristics. There is a nice balance of common sense discipline when things go array (as children always do at some point, even the best of them).During COVID, we were so impressed with how the teachers handled the new world, and the return to school process was impressive. Further proof that with great leadership and committed, passionate teachers, any learning challenges can be overcome. We simply cannot say enough great things about the 6 years we've spent in this school. With only one more year remaining in our family, we'll be sad to say goodbye.
