I have been in this school for 3 years now. The assistant principal goes around looking for people with their phones, even if they aren't using them. Once she finds the phones, she keeps them at her desk, and the only way to get them back is for your parents to come to school and pick them up. I get that they don't want us to fail our classes, but this is just too far. The assistant principal feels your body to find anything, and if you refuse, then you will be suspended. Some teachers are nice, but there are too many staff that are mean, so I definitely would not reccomend this school.

I have two children at Middle Creek. We have been there for three years now, even having to work through the challenges of Covid and remote learning. All of our children's teachers have been fantastic. Mrs. Winkler, Mrs. Rogers, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Yoder, and many of the "specials" teachers have all been wonderful. Our children have flourished, love going to school, have made a lot of friends, have become vigorous readers, and are doing well in all of their subjects. The only critique we have is that they could be better at challenging students that are perhaps already familiar with some of the base lessons. Especially returning to in-person learning after Covid, 1st grade was a repeat of many of the things that were learned in Kindergarten... 2nd grade was a repeat of things that were learned in 1st grade, etc. It is a shame that AIG is not offered until 3rd grade (I started "gifted" in 1st grade, for example), but that appears to be an odd Wake County policy instead of something that is specific to Middle Creek.

Middle Creek has its pros and cons. I would say around half of the teachers are excellent, and the other half to put it simply, are not. The bathrooms are nasty, but I guess that is to be expected. The school is relatively safe, although "stuff " is used. There are good sports, and extracurriculars, such as theatre, and clubs. The equipment in the classrooms is pretty old and out of date, and some is entirely damaged. For the most part, the kids here are kind, but of course, some people can be mean. I would say, all in all, Middle Creek is a fine school.- Current Middle Creek Mustang
